Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lucerne, CA.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Lucerne 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 and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond 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 skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or aggressive event, etc.

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