Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenville, IL.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Greenville 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 those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
