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

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hazel Crest 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 begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health issue and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
