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

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the destructive effects of a mental health issue 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 need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Paxton 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 starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or hostile event, 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 keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services 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 program.
