Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rocklin, CA.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol 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 Rocklin is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or aggressive encounter, 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 crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
