Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Fort Wayne, IN.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the devastating consequences of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Fort Wayne 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 and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or aggressive episode, 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 keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the person 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
