Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

ACT follows a multidisciplinary, team-based approach.  The team meets as a group five days a week to review progress.

Services are provided where they are needed. ACT teams work with people in their homes and other locations in the community.

ACT delivers personalized, consistent, flexible, and comprehensive care. 

ACT uses outreach and other engagement mechanisms to develop relationships with people may have historically been hard to reach.

ACT is less intensive than residential care and more intensive than traditional outpatient care. People receiving care in the program are seen on average 3 times a week; in some situations, people are seen daily.
