At Horizon House, our community-based treatment services incorporate a variety of customized needs-based services to support people living with ongoing mental illness. Our approach to an individual’s recovery is comprised of three elements; treatment planning and services to manage and reduce symptoms, rehabilitation activities to improve life skills for living, working, and learning in the community, and design and coordination of community supports. By integrating treatment and rehabilitation, recovery is possible; recovery that can provide an individual with a sense of meaning to life, a positive self-image, an ability to establish meaningful relationships, and the capacity to live independently.
Assertive Community Treatment
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an evidenced-based recovery model designed to provide treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to individuals diagnosed with a serious and persistent mental illness whose needs have not been met by more traditional mental health services. Our ACT teams are interdisciplinary and include specialists in the areas of psychiatry, mental health, drug and alcohol, vocational training, housing, and nursing. Services are designed to increase individual success and satisfaction with employment, education, and living environments. Services are provided 24/7, 365 days/year.
