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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Nevada City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting 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 appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
