Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Harvey, IL.

A crisis event, such as a person suffering the destructive effects of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Harvey 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 participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or aggressive encounter, 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 disturbance 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 people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
