Community Intervention Associates' Crisis Mobile Team (CMT) is an interdisciplinary team of mental health professionals and paraprofessionals (e.g., mental health crisis behavioral health technicians, addiction specialists, and peer support partners).

The CMT responds to any person in Yuma County, Cochise County, or Santa Cruz County who is experiencing, or is at risk of, a psychological crisis, and who requires mental health intervention and follow up support.

The CMT is dispatched by NurseWise, a team of nurses and behavioral health staff available to assist those experiencing a crisis and need immediate assistance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

NurseWise can be called by family members, neighbors, friends, landlords, clergy or any other person(s) concerned about an individual. NurseWise is a critical member of the Cenpatico Behavioral Health of Arizona. The CMT responds to your community: homes, schools, Police/Fire Departments, churches/temples, medical offices.

What services does the CMT provide?
Crisis Team staff provide a range of services including crisis assessment, crisis intervention, crisis counseling, information and referrals, linkage with appropriate community based mental health services for ongoing treatment, and follow up.

What if the CMT determines that the individual in crisis needs further psychiatric evaluation?
The CMT Team will coordinate a referral to the Title 36 Screening Agency for further psychiatric and/or further assessment and care if indicated. If the individual in crisis is found to be a:

• Danger to self (DTS)

• Danger to others (DTO)

• Persistently Acutely Disabled (PAD)

• Gravely Disabled (GD)

...and will not agree to voluntarily accept treatment and meets the specified legal standards, the CMT will coordinate a referral to the local Title 36 Screening Agency for further psychiatric screening and assessment. The Title 36 Screen Agency will then coordinate the necessary court ordered documents for "involuntary care" as indicated. They will also arrange for transport of the person to the appropriate psychiatric evaluation facility or hospital.

What other kinds of Services does the CMT provide?
The Crisis Team will also assist in the Yuma County as a member of the disaster response network. CMT staff can be counted on to conduct crisis counseling to victims in the aftermath of local disasters, such as major fires, explosions, in addition to crisis de-briefing.

How can concerned person get help from the Crisis Mobile Team?
NurseWise will collect information regarding the crisis situation and will dispatch the CMT. The Crisis Mobile Team serves people of all ages. Spanish speaking staff are available to assist those in need of Crisis Mobile Team services.

Community Intervention Associates' Recovery Opportunity Center is a 23-Hour Living Room Model crisis program that will provide Crisis Services which are described in R9-20-101 37.a. as: Immediate and unscheduled behavioral health services in response to an individual's behavioral health issue to prevent imminent harm or to stabilize or resolve an acute behavioral health issue.

"The ROC" program does not provide counseling services. The program will serve adults who are 18 years or older, who are seriously mentally ill, may have a substance abuse problem or a co-occurring disorder. We will also offer services to those who may qualify as a general mental health participant. The program does not provide services outside of the premises located at:

2851 South Avenue B, Building 11 Suite 101
Yuma, AZ 85364
(928) 376-0026, Ext. 1236

Requests for crisis services outside of the program are referred to the CIA Crisis Mobile Team.

Program Goals:

• To provide short-term crisis intervention services to adults who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. Crisis intervention services are not time-limited, but shall not exceed 23 hours for any one service.

• To provide crisis intervention services in the least restrictive setting possible. A Living Room Model is designed to avoid a clinic-like setting by creating an environment that resembles a living room found in the average home.
