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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in San Diego is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic event, 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 mental 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 receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals 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 treat them in a mental health program.
