Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Port Hueneme Cbc Base, CA.

A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Port Hueneme Cbc Base is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those 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 know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. 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 a mental health program.
