Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Camptonville, CA.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the destructive repercussions 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 Camptonville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits 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 a mental health program.
