Assertive Community Treatment

Real support. Real life. Right where you are.

ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT (ACT)

Envision Health’s Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program provides intensive, community-based behavioral health services for adults living with serious mental illness who need more support than traditional outpatient care can provide.

Our multidisciplinary team works with individuals where life actually happens, at home and in the community to help build stability, independence, and a better quality of life.
