Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Newport, OR.

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Newport is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or aggressive incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health issue and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
