This is a timeline of assertive community treatment, a service-delivery model that provides comprehensive, locally based treatment to people with serious and persistent mental illnesses.[1] The program is considered one of the densest and most comprehensive models of care management to support community living for people with mental disorders.[2] ACT has been widely implemented in the United States, Canada, and England.[3]

Big picture

Time period Development summary
1960s ACT starts development late in the decade.[4]
1970s ACT is launched in the early 1970s in Madison, Wisconsin by a group of clinicians who believe that persons with severe mental illness should be given the opportunity to live in the community by receiving intensive treatment, rehabilitation, and support there, rather than on long-term mental hospital wards.[5]. The approach subsequently spreads throughout the United States, especially in the Midwest.[6]
1980s A tension between ACT as a possible model for all persons with mental illness and the need to focus ACT development on the most costly and difficult to treat populations remains in the decade.[7]
1990s Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) develops as a variant of ACT.[8]
2000s Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) deveops as a Dutch variant of ACT.[9]

Year Event type Details Location
Late 1960s Development Arnold Marx, Mary Ann Test, and Leonard Stein at Mendota State Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin start development of their Program Of Assertive Community Treatment.[4] United States (Wisconsin)
1972 Development Arnold Marx, Mary Ann Test, and Leonard Stein move hospital-ward treatment staff into the community to test their Program Of Assertive Community Treatment.[4][10] United States (Wisconsin)
1973 Implementation The Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT), also called "Madison Model", is formally launched. The program is designed to teach life skills to patients in the community, rather than in a state hospital.[11] United States (Wisconsin)
1974 Achievement The training in ACT receives the Gold Achievement Award from the Hospital and Community Psychiatry Service of the American Psychiatric Association.[12] United States
1978 Implementation The first big-city adaptation of ACT and the first such program to focus on the most frequently hospitalized segment of the mental health consumer population is developed in Chicago, and called Bridge assertive outreach program.[13] United States, Illinois
1978 Research Test and Stein, the inventors of ACT, report: “Community treatment results in less time spent in the hospital. This finding is certainly not surprising since experimental patients were usually not admitted to hospitals initially and there were subsequent concentrated efforts to keep them out.”.[14] United States
1980 Development In order to deinstitutionalize patients with severe mental illness, Stein describes in the United States the Assertive Community Treatment model (ACT), characterized as an individualized, intensive, multidisciplinary treatment.[15] United States
1987 Implementation The Connecticut Department of Mental Health begins creating assertive community treatment teams.[16] United States (Connecticut)
1988 Implementation California creates two integrated service agencies that combine ACT with a capitated model of funding. Unlike the full-fidelity model, these programs specifically target a cross-section of persons with severe mental illness rather than focusing exclusively on high service utilizers.[17] United States (California)
1990 Implementation An ACT program is established in the Delaware correctional system, designed to ease the transition of drug-involved prison releasees into the community by providing both treatment and case management services.[18] United States (Delaware)
1990 Research Harbinger determines that indirect service requirements inherent in the ACT team treatment model could reach over 50% of the cost of care, as service intensity approaches one contact per month.[7] United States
Early 1990s Implementation The Office of Mental Health (NYSOMH) in New York State starts implementing ACT.[19] United States (New York)
1992 Implementation Kent County in Michigan establishes two ACT teams to provide intensive support to a group of very seriously ill consumers who were treated successfully only in state hospitals. These ACT teams would work in partnership with newly developed intensive residential programs to provide 128 Carol T. Mowbray, Thomas B. Plum, and Ted Masterton support and care to this target group. ACT was expected to provide intensive support to consumers and residential staff, and to facilitate eventual consumer movement to less restrictive settings.[7] United States (Michigan)
1994 – 2004 Development The United States National Alliance on Mental Illness operates an ACT technical assistance center, dedicated to the advocacy and training to make the model more widely available, with funding from the United States federal government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.[13] United States
1996 Implementation The first (ACT) team in Iowa is assembled by the University of Iowa.[20] United States (Iowa)
1997 Study Meisler, Blankertz, Santos, and McKay evaluate ACT for people who are homeless and suffer from co-occurring severe psychiatric and substance use disorders. While abstinence levels and social benefits are not high, the authors manage to report high rates of retention in treatment, housing stability and community tenure.[21]
1998 Literature The United States National Alliance on Mental Illness publishes the first manualization of the ACT model, writen by two of its original developers, Allness and Knoedler.[13] United States
1998 Literature Alberto B. Santos publishes Assertive Community Treatment of Persons With Severe Mental Illness.[22]
1998 Implementation The Government of Ontario formally endorses the use of ACT programs as a mechanism to reduce acute hospitalizations while continuing to support the provision of services to individuals with serious mental illness in the community.[23] Canada
1999 Variant The American Psychiatric Association recognizes Project Link in Rochester, New York as the first Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) program –an adaptation of ACT.[8] United States (New York)
2000 Research The Research and Evaluation of Assertive Community Treatment is established as Alabama’s first Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team. REACT is an evidence based practice team of professionals who provide comprehensive, community-based psychiatric treatment, rehabilitation, and support to persons with serious and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia.[24]
2001 Research An article in the journal Psychiatric Services claims that ACT is to be deemed an Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) because it shows superiority over alternate treatments.[25]
2001 Implementation A widespread implementation of ACT in Australia is reported.[26] Australia
2001 Implementation ACT implementation begins in Indiana,[27] when the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) launches an initiative to create a network of ACT teams across the state.[28] United States (Indiana)
2002 Variant An early reference to Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) –an adaptation of the assertive community treatment (ACT) as an emerging model of care is published in the textbook Serving Mentally Ill Offenders.[8]
2003 Implementation An early experimental adoption of ACT in Japan is initiated in Chiba.[2] Japan
2003 Implementation The Assertive Community Management (ACM) is launched in Singapore, and is modelled after the ACT, but with the main difference of 24 hour availability for the latter only.[29] Singapore
2003 Variant The Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) model develops in the Netherlands. This variant of ACT combines recovery-oriented care, evidence-based medicine and best practices, and integrated community and hospital care.[30] Netherlands
2004 Research The first study of Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT), is conducted. The program is designed to transition adults with severe mental illnesses from correctional facilities into the community. This treatment strategy would proliferate across the United States.[8]
2004 Implementation The Government of Ontario approves revised program standards for the operation of ACT programs in the province.[31] Canada
2007 Implementation The ACT model is introduced in Norway.[32] Norway
2008 Implementation The State of Missouri establishes ACT teams in St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and St. Joseph using a combination of state and federal funds, as well as local resources. The program focuses on individuals who are hard-to-reach and hard-to-treat and “the most challenging in our system.”[20] United States (Missouri)
2010 Literature Sandra J. Johnson publishes Assertive Community Treatment: Evidence-Based Practice or Managed Recovery.[33]
