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

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in San Leandro is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and 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 combative or antagonistic episode, 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 issue and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders 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 mental health services 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
