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

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Naperville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile situation, etc.

In many cases, 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 episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
