Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Alton, IL.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Alton is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 address and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or antagonistic incident, 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 helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps 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 a mental health recovery program.
