Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

When Traditional Treatment Isn't Enough

You've been here before. The hospital stay. The discharge plan. The follow-up appointments that somehow never quite stick. And then the crisis happens again.

If someone you love keeps cycling through emergency rooms and psychiatric wards—if outpatient therapy hasn't been enough to keep them stable—you're not alone. And you're not out of options.

Alliance's Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program exists for exactly this moment. When everything else has felt like pushing water uphill, ACT shows up differently.

Who ACT Is For (Eligibility Requirements)

You might be wondering if this is the right fit. Here's who we work with:

Adults 18+ who are facing serious mental health challenges—schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression—and who have been caught in the revolving door of crisis. Maybe that looks like multiple hospitalizations in the past year. Or involvement with the criminal justice system. Or housing that's unstable or unsafe.

If traditional outpatient care hasn't worked—if your loved one struggles to make appointments, stay on medication, or stay out of crisis—that's exactly who ACT is designed to help.

And here's what matters most: cost is not a barrier. We have a Safety Net for individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. If someone needs this level of care, we'll figure out how to make it work.
