Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Robinson, IL.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Robinson is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement 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 contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent 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 disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle 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 help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
