Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glenville, WV.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the devastating 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 Glenville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, 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 training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be 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. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. 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 program.
