Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Olney, IL.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Olney is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and 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 address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
