Complex Care Might Be Right For You.
High Utilizers of Inpatient Treatment of ERs
Sometimes, people who are diagnosed with serious mental illness can become dependent on emergency departments and inpatient facilities when experiencing a mental health crisis.
The Center’s Complex Care program is designed to help people change their lives from a revolving door of psychiatric hospital units or rearrests and jail, to a life focused on independence, personal meaning and purpose.
How Does It Work?
Members of The Center’s Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team and Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) work with local hospitals, healthcare and law enforcement agencies to provide the additional support a person needs to overcome obstacles. These services are tailored to a person’s specific needs, helping them learn effective coping skills for daily responsibilities, coordinate and advocate for benefits and treatment, and close the revolving door on hospitalizations and arrests.
