Bridge

Bridge follows the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model standards set by SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). The ACT model is a “team approach” (case managers, therapists, nurses, psychiatrist, peer support specialists, and budget specialist with Representative Payee Services) meeting the client’s where they are, often referred to as “hospital without walls”. Individuals on the Bridge team receive services in their homes, where they work and in other setting in the community where problems occur or where support is needed most. Client’s may receive assistance with helping to take care of basic needs-taking medications, find housing, apply for food stamps, go back to school or seek employment. Bridge has a small ratio of clients to providers to ensure the most availability and ability to meet client’s needs with client’s having access to their treatment team 24/7.
