Assertive Community Treatment

Navigating severe mental health challenges sometimes requires an extraordinary level of ongoing support. Lincoln Behavioral Services provides Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) for individuals who need intensive, comprehensive care delivered directly within their own community. Our ACT program brings psychiatric, medical, and social services straight to you, offering a highly effective alternative to traditional clinic-based care.

Intensive Support Where You Live

Many individuals face complex psychiatric symptoms that make standard weekly office visits difficult to manage. Our ACT program serves adults living with severe and persistent mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or severe bipolar disorder, who have not experienced success with standard outpatient therapy. The primary goal of this program is to reduce hospitalizations, prevent homelessness, and empower you to maintain independence in your daily life.

Building Lasting Stability

Participating in the ACT program significantly improves overall quality of life. Clients consistently experience fewer emergency room visits and a dramatic reduction in psychiatric hospital stays. Consistent, on-the-ground support helps individuals build strong ties to their local neighborhoods and develop the vital skills needed to thrive safely on their own.

How the ACT Model Works

We utilize a highly structured, evidence-based approach to deliver care. Our model relies on a shared caseload system, meaning you are not just assigned to one individual provider. Instead, an entire team of specialists collaborates daily to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Multidisciplinary Care Team

You will receive care from a cohesive group of professionals. This team includes psychiatrists, registered nurses, social workers, vocational specialists, therapists, and certified peer support specialists.

Community-Based Delivery

We bring our services directly to your environment. Our team members will meet you in your home, at your workplace, or in other comfortable community settings throughout Wayne County.

Continuous Availability

Mental health crises do not follow a set schedule. We provide robust, wrap-around support with 24/7 emergency response capabilities to ensure you are never alone during a difficult moment.

Comprehensive Life Assistance

True recovery involves practical daily living support. We assist with critical tasks like medication management, finding stable housing, securing employment, and managing basic finances.
