Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - White Salmon, WA.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability 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 White Salmon 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or hostile incident, 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 mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
