Crisis Response Teams

Once the person has been safely taken into custody for transport to the treatment facility, the crisis responder will call the team leader at the facility to report on the person. This report may include diagnosis, any medical conditions or injuries, alcohol or drug use, reason for referral, past behavior and treatment as relevant, current medications, current providers and level of cooperation at the scene.

In most instances, a crisis note will be sent or forwarded to the facility with this information along with name and number of the crisis responder in case further information or consultation is needed.
