Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Auburn, CA.

A crisis event, for example a person suffering the tragic effects 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Auburn is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals 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 know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 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 approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
