Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - John Day, OR.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in John Day 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 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 learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
