Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ina, IL.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Ina is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates 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 know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile episode, 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 individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address 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 benefits the individual 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
