Outreach
Community Treatment Programs
MLBHC offers outreach services to assist eligible clients within the community.
Our staff includes therapists, certified case managers, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists. These staff members work within our case management services, Adult In-Home team, and the Assertive Community Treatment team. Community Treatment and Outreach focuses on bringing treatment to the people, instead of the people to the treatment. This is a multi-faceted approach instead of only utilizing one type of service.
Case Management Services are comprehensive services that assist eligible individuals in gaining access to needed medical, social, educational and other services.
Adult In-Home Service (AIH) is a home based service provided by a treatment team to serve individuals who don’t fit outpatient criteria and who need temporary additional support due to increased symptoms or transition from a more intense level of services, to defuse an immediate crisis situation, stabilize the living arrangement, and/or prevent out of home placement of the client.
Assertive Community Treatment Services (ACT) provides service primarily in non-treatment settings. ACT is beneficial for adult clients with serious mental illness or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders who are in a high-risk period due to an increase in intensity of the behavioral health disorder and/or returning from an episode of inpatient, residential psychiatric care, or who are consistently resistant to traditional “in-office” treatment interventions and are difficult to engage in an ongoing treatment program.
