An assessment is the first step toward improving your overall well-being. It is an interview to determine the most appropriate type of behavioral health services. The assessor will ask about current concerns, medical and mental health history, and, if applicable, any drug and/or alcohol use. The assessment helps determine which programs or services would be most beneficial.
ACTS staff includes a Medical Director, therapists/counselors, case managers, nurses, and behavioral health technicians. These team members work together to ensure each individual receives high-quality care throughout their time in our programs.
