Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hinsdale, IL.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hinsdale is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, 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 programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 turning into a potentially dangerous 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
