The team provides all necessary services, including support, treatment and rehabilitation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. FACT serves persons who have had difficulty benefiting from other more traditional forms of treatment. Those individuals with severe and persistent mental illness can learn symptom management techniques to prevent recurrent episodes, which lead to hospitalization and disruption of lives. Ongoing education can be provided in homes and community settings, where learning is direct and where generalization from one setting to another is no longer necessary.
