The FACT (Forensic Assertive Community Treatment) Team administers intensive mental health services to individuals with severe mental illness involved in the criminal justice system.
Services provided include psychiatric medication prescribing and management, case management, and therapeutic services in both individual and group settings. The team is equipped to provide all services in the community where participants live, work, and spend their days.
Participants receive 2-4 visits a week and are provided 24/7 crisis services with lifelong care, meaning individuals can remain in the program for as long as needed.
Along with an individual therapist, your team includes psychiatric providers who help with assessments and medications.
