Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is a multi-disciplinary team that provides continuous comprehensive treatment, rehabilitation and support services to individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) with recurring acute episodes of illness. FACT is designed to promote psychiatric and physical health, independent living, supportive relationships, and full community participation for individuals it serves. Ultimately the goals are to keep clients stable in the community of their choice without cycling through hospitals, crisis units, jails, or shelters and be as engaged with their community, family and friends as desired. Referral required.

About
Persons who receive FACT services have severe mental illness symptoms and impairments that are not adequately served in the traditional service delivery system. They are at high risk of repeated psychiatric hospital admissions, prolonged inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, or repeated crisis stabilization unit use because of their severe psychiatric symptoms and significant interactional impairments and lack of available community-based services.

FACT provides assertive and proactive services to members to assist them with achieving their most independent level of functioning in the community with the least amount of intervention through inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations.
