Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Perris, CA.

A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the devastating repercussions of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Perris is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and 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 supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
