Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
Stacy Gallinger, LPC - Supervisor stacy.gallinger@deschutes.org
ACT is a community-based program which provides intensive behavioral health treatment to adults with serious and persistent mental illness. ACT is a multidisciplinary team using client centered approaches to help participants achieve independence. Services include therapy, peer supports, case management, supported employment, nursing, outreach and psychiatric services. ACT’s high intensity services serve individuals who are most at-risk for psychiatric hospitalization and for whom traditional outpatient services have not been successful.
Eligibility: Individuals are referred from inpatient hospital settings, community partners and from our Access Team.
