Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fremont, CA.

A crisis situation, such as a person struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Fremont 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 individuals 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 address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 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 address and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive 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 health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health 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 an appropriate mental health program.
