Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Marshall, CA.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Marshall is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
