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

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rohnert Park is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate 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 techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
