The Assertive Community Treatment Team at Psychotherapeutic Services is designed for adults 18 and older who live with serious mental health conditions. It brings together psychiatric care, nursing, housing and employment support, and substance use services under one team. The approach is practical: staff meet people in their own environments and coordinate the many parts of daily life that affect stability.
What distinguishes an ACTT model is the multidisciplinary team. Instead of sending someone to several separate appointments, the program assembles clinicians, peer supporters, and case managers who share a single plan. The center says its services are CARF-accredited and combine social services with recovery work, aiming for long-term health and independence in the community.
The program operates Monday through Friday and provides emergency support around the clock. That structure suits people who need consistent contact and help navigating crises, not just weekly counseling. If you are comparing options in the Greensboro area, this page covers what the program offers and what to verify before admitting.
Programs and therapeutic services
Care here is outpatient only. That covers individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, group sessions, and work with families. The program also lists motivational interviewing, training in life skills, counseling to prevent relapse, and therapy focused on trauma. It describes its methods as evidence-based and planned for each person, using a team approach that addresses mental health and substance use together.
The Assertive Community Treatment Team model is built for people whose needs cross several areas at once. This Greensboro program combines psychiatric care, nursing, and substance use services in one team, which can reduce the number of separate appointments someone must manage. Adults in Guilford County can access case management, peer support, and life skills training. If transportation or scheduling has made regular clinic visits hard, then a team that meets people in their own environments may be worth asking about.

Campus, stay length and languages
This is an outpatient program rather than a residential facility, and the typical length listed is 5 days. Services happen in practical, community-based settings. The team is available Monday through Friday, with emergency support at all hours. The program serves both men and women and lists English as its language. Since care is outpatient, people keep living at home while they receive it.
Covering the cost of care here
Cash pay rates are listed among the center's payment options. Other details, including whether North Carolina Medicaid or private insurance is taken, must be confirmed with the program directly. If you intend to pay with insurance, verify coverage with the center before scheduling an appointment. Those questions can be readied with help from our helpline and learn what a program accepts.
Cost should never be the only reason to put off a call. A number of North Carolina treatment centers take Medicaid or private insurance for outpatient care. If you do not know what your plan covers, ask the center to explain any out-of-pocket amount before you commit.
Things to confirm before you enroll
- Does the program accept my insurance or North Carolina Medicaid, and what out-of-pocket cost should I plan for?
- How often will I see a psychiatrist, nurse, or case manager, and who is my main contact?
- What happens after the typical 5-day program length, and how is continuing care arranged?
- Can the team help with housing, employment, and transportation as part of my plan?
- How are emergencies handled outside Monday-through-Friday hours?

FAQ
What does psychotherapeutic services Greensboro provide?
Psychotherapeutic Services Greensboro runs an Assertive Community Treatment Team for adults 18 and older who have serious mental health conditions. Its outpatient care includes individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, group sessions, family therapy, life skills training, and relapse prevention. The team also offers psychiatric services, nursing, and assistance with housing and employment. Services run Monday through Friday, emergency support is available at all hours, and the center has operated since 1984.
Does North Carolina Medicaid cover this ACTT program?
Private-pay rates, but its public information does not say whether North Carolina Medicaid is accepted. Coverage differs by plan and by program, so call the center directly to ask. If you are eligible for Medicaid, confirm that the specific ACTT service is covered before you begin. Our helpline can help you gather the right questions about Medicaid and private insurance.
How long do people typically stay in this program?
The typical program length listed for this center is 5 days, though ACTT services are generally ongoing and adjusted to each person's needs. Since the program is outpatient, participants live at home and either attend appointments or receive visits from the team. If you need longer-term support, ask how continuing care and outpatient treatment are arranged once the initial period ends.
Which questions about withdrawal and detox should I bring up?
Outpatient mental health and substance use services are offered at this center, but detox or residential withdrawal care is not listed. If you or a loved one drinks heavily or uses benzodiazepines, withdrawal should be guided by clinical supervision because it can be dangerous. Ask the program how it works with detox providers and whether it can help you find a higher level of care when needed.
