(1) Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is known as a "hospital without walls". ACT is a person-centered service delivery model that provides an integrated set of evidence-based treatments, rehabilitative services, case management, and support services that are delivered by a mobile, multidisciplinary mental health treatment team. ACT teams serve clients who have a serious mental illness that greatly impairs their functioning in the community. Priority is given to clients with schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, and mood disorders including bipolar disorder or major depression.
