Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - San Clemente, CA.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the devastating repercussions of a mental health situation like 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 San Clemente is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, 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 episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community 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 recovery program.
