Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Roselle, IL.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug 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 Roselle 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 learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or hostile event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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.
