A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hillsboro 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 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 training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting 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 turning into a possibly combative or aggressive event, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 a mental health program.
