Our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team provides treatment and care management services for adults, aged 18 and older, who have found traditional clinic-based outpatient services insufficient for their level of needs. Our multidisciplinary team provides a blend of approaches that enable individuals to receive enhanced, intensive services while continuing to live in their communities.  

Our team aims to address a variety of needs crucial to an individual’s well-being, such as: 

• Substance Use Treatment and Support
• Employment Assistance
• Wellness Promotion 
• Family Support Services
• Psychiatric and Nursing Care

Our ACT program offers a team approach, which means that you will come to know a group of specialists who will work closely together and can visit you at your home and in the community. Our team includes a psychiatrist, nurses, social workers, licensed mental health counselors, a vocational specialist, a substance use disorder specialist, and a peer specialist. With your permission, we will work collaboratively with other service providers and your family members.
