The Providence Care Schizophrenia Rehabilitation Service provides intensive treatment, rehabilitation and support to adults living in the Kingston area through two Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams:
- Psychosocial Rehabilitation ACT Team
- Community Integration Program ACT Team.
Most clients are diagnosed with schizophrenia, have a history of frequent hospitalizations and may continue to experience functional impairment (e.g. in self-care, work, and relationships). The objective of both teams is to provide recovery oriented services that promote hope, empowerment, self determination and wellness.
Highlights
- individualized treatment and recovery planning
- shared care approach by an interdisciplinary team
- frequent contact with individuals in their homes and community
- assistance with housing
- medications provided daily or as needed
- individual psychoeducation, skills teaching, vocational, and recreational support
- 24-hour on-call support collaboration with agencies and families.
