Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Laguna Woods, CA.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Laguna Woods 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or aggressive episode, 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 issue and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving 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 effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. 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 recovery program.
