CSS services are provided where a person lives, works, goes to school, or socializes. To be eligible for these services, individuals must have an evaluation by a therapist to ensure that they meet criteria.

ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) serves a select group of adult clients aged 18 and above diagnosed with serious mental illness (SMI) or substance use disorders. These individuals experience severe symptoms that significantly impede their ability to live independently within the community.
