Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Program
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an evidenced-based practice that offers treatment, rehabilitation, and support services, using a person-centered, recovery-based approach, to individuals that have been diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness. The goal of the program is to help people stay out of the hospital and to develop skills for living in the community, so that their mental illness is not the driving force in their lives.

ACC's ACT Program is committed to providing individually tailored services and support, which may very in intensity over time based on the consumer's needs and condition.
