Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Papineau, IL.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug 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 Papineau is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing 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 developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance 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 receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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.
