Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Trenton, NJ.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Trenton is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or antagonistic event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
