Podcasts about stabilization center

As we mark one year since the launch of the Inside Deschutes County podcast, we welcome County Commissioner Patti Adair. We discuss Measure 110, funding for the Stabilization Center, nitrate concerns in South County and much more.

A New crisis stabilization center in Hurricane is being described as 'paradigm shift' for mental health. The center is designed to be for mental health what urgent care and emergency rooms are for physical health, officials said. This center will be open 24 hours, seven days a week and is free of charge. D2 speaks with Chris Reed, St. George News to learn more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Holly Harris, LPC, Deschutes County Behavioral Health Director, and Sheriff L. Shane Nelson, Deschutes County Sheriff discuss: The benefits of having a 24 hour walk-in crisis stabilization center with therapists on staff. The stabilization center takes anyone unless there is a safety concern, and law enforcement can voluntarily drop people off in lieu of taking them to jail. The attitude is, “Coming from a place of yes.” The staff can de-escalate situations early for people by providing basic needs - food, rest, shower, etc - so the crisis doesn't escalate, and the person can stabilize. Diverting people to services rather than taking them to jail makes the community and the jails safer. The center opened during COVID, and staff wellness has been a focus through safety implementation, debriefing, the betterment committee, and being mission-driven. It creates psychological safety for both staff and clients. The staff was provided with situational awareness and tactical training from law enforcement, and they rarely need to call police for back-up and initiate the involuntary process. The stabilization center staff also provided training to law enforcement, but it's not just training - it's about the partnership, and creating the trust to be able to provide the best services for the clients. The initial funding came through the sheriff's department to start the project. The stabilization center later applied for, and received, funding from the IMPACTS grant. Approximately 400 people were diverted from jail in one year, with an average of 1500 mental health calls. Having behavioral health taking the non-law enforcement response calls straight from dispatch to respond to behavioral health crisis situations has helped to save an estimated $75,000 in officer time. Substance use goes hand-in-hand with the behavioral health problems, and won't exclude a person from receiving services from the stabilization center.

Cara Mia Bacchiochi returnsto RadioRotary to describe progress of Hope on a Mission, her continuing ministry to homeless Poughkeepsie women (and men), many also addicted to drugs or alcohol. Seven years ago, as she was once-again in jail, Cara Mia vowed to help street women, aware of their needs because she had been one. When she was out of jail, she borrowed a car, filled the trunk with bottles of water and parked at the corner of Main and South Clinton, one of the most traveled locations for street women and addicts in Poughkeepsie, handing out water to those who past. Since then every Saturday evening, sometimes in rain or snow, her the street ministry Hope on a Mission (HOAM) has served from that corner. Bacchiochi and volunteers, many from local Rotary clubs, distribute food, clothing, and personal care items, restoring dignity to the homeless and addicted. Those who are ready to change their lives are escorted to Dutchess County's Stabilization Center or to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital (formerly St. Francis) for treatment. Since that first visit, Hope on a Mission has added a Saturday breakfast and dinners on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, a 20-passenger bus bringing help where it is needed, and a partnership in a thrift shop.

After months of delays, momentum is now building to create a stabilization center to treat people experiencing a mental health crisis due to methamphetamines, according to new reporting by The Lund Report. Multnomah County and the City of Portland signed a memorandum of understanding in May to partner on the center, which would be the first of its kind in Oregon. Unlike other sobering facilities, the stabilization center would allow several days for people to detox from meth before trying to link them to recovery services. Emily Green, managing editor for The Lund Report, joins us to talk about this effort amid a surge in meth-related visits to emergency rooms, which for the first time, have now surpassed visits due to alcohol in Multnomah County.

Deschutes County Stabilization Center opened during the pandemic offering care to anyone having a mental health crisis in the area. The center offers medication support, peer counseling and an observation room for those unable to talk through problems and who need more immediate care. A two-year grant from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission allowed the center to start its operations, but as the deadline approaches, the future of the facility is unknown. We'll hear from Holly Harris, Program Manager at Deschutes County Crisis Services, on how the community will be affected if the facility closed.

RadioRotary hosts Beth Alter, Director of Behavioral Health Diversion Services for Dutchess Country, who has been a part of the county government for over 30 year in substance abuse and mental health services. Her topics on this program are the life-saving medicine Narcan, the County HELPLINE, the Mobile Crisis Intervention Team, and the Stabilization Center at 230 North Road in Poughkeepsie. Her team offers training in the use of Narcan to reverse an opioid overdose, which they will bring to any location in the country or provide to visitors at the Stabilization Center. All the services mentioned here can be reached via the HELPLINE, calling or texting to 845-485-9700. Narcan is an easy-to-administer nasal spray that instantly blocks opioid action, although more than one dose may be needed to reverse the drug in some cases. Ms. Alter makes a good case why everyone from boy and girl scouts to Rotarians should learn to use Narcan and have the drug handy for when needed (there is no effect if it is not needed).
