Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Hubbard, OR.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hubbard is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or hostile event, 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 issue and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems 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. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
