Flexible Assertive Community

Treatment (FACT) is a recovery-oriented, evidence-based best practice. Clients may at times require traditionalassertive community treatment (ACT) but a larger majority of clients on the team require less intensive treatment and support. To combine care for these two groups, the FACT team employs a flexible switching system where the intensity of services can be ramped up or ramped down as needed depending on individual client need.

This combination of flexibility and continuity provides better opportunities for recovery and rehabilitation and ties in well with the natural course of SPMI with its recurring episodes and relapses.
