Rehabilitation
Our comprehensive, individualized services are designed to meet people where they are on the road to recovery. Our dedicated professionals offer short-term and long-term healthcare options to individuals of all ages living with mental illness and substance use disorders.
Levels of care
Through individualzied and recovery-focused treatment, we help people find and define their "place" in the community. Our intake and assessment process, and initial case management provided by our Outreach teams help determine the appropriate level of care necessary for the individuals we serve.
Assertive Community Treatment
The highest level of care we offer, our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Teams are specially designed to meet all of the needs of people with the most serious of mental illnesses and the most complex additional challenges. ACT is frequently referred to as a hospital without walls, providing all the services typically provided in a hospital setting but instead, in the community. In addition to integrated health coaches, staffing for ACT teams includes a psychiatrist, a nurse, a vocational specialist, an occupational therapist, a substance use specialist, and a peer specialist – an individual who is living with a mental health diagnosis who is now helping to provide services to individuals just beginning their journey toward recovery from serious mental illness. Places for People’s four ACT teams (of 10 total in Missouri) includes a Forensic ACT team. The FACT Team is one of three treatment teams in the country that specializes in helping people transition from the criminal justice system.
Community Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Places for People’s Community Psychiatric Rehabilitation (CPR) teams help people with serious mental illnesses progress toward personal recovery goals. While services can be intensive, this community approach promotes individuals receiving psychiatric and medical services outside of the team, often in the community. The services that individuals receive vary depending on goals, but often include assistance with medication management, financial management, assistance with daily living activities, assistance finding a job or completing an education, and health and wellness education. CPR services can be a bridge to Transition services, or they may be a long-term support system, depending on each individual’s needs and readiness to increase his or her level of independence.
