Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Arlington, OR.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating 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 need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Arlington is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and 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 handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
