Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Northridge, CA.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Northridge 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 begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or aggressive incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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.
