Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Marshall, IL.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Marshall is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning 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 appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance 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. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
