Community-based care allows us to reach people in need wherever they are. Intensive case management teams focus on helping adults and children in community settings where they feel most comfortable. Together, they work toward the goals of recovery and wellness.

By bringing care to those we serve, we remove barriers to treatment so those we serve can get the help they need.

Wraparound support for adults
Those with a serious mental illness or struggling with substance misuse may have difficulty living independently in the community and need extra support in managing their daily health needs. Our Florida Assertive Community Treatment team includes professionals in psychiatry, nursing, counseling, case management, substance use treatments and vocational services. This specialized support can allow you to safely remain in the community while receiving help.

Helping people with intellectual disabilities
The Special Populations Network at Lakeview Center provides essential services for adults with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other conditions.

Helping children and families
When a child faces mental health issues, both the child – and their family – may benefit from community-based, in-home support to help face everyday challenges. Community-based care allows us to reach children in need wherever they are. By bringing care to those we serve, we remove barriers to treatment so children and families can get the help they need – in settings where they feel most comfortable. Learn more.

Supporting families in the child welfare system
Lakeview Center strives to build healthy and caring environments for children so that families can remain safely together in their homes. By working with our team members at FamiliesFirst Network, our goal is to prevent cases of child abuse and neglect. Learn more about how our programs are supporting families in the child welfare system.

HIV care
The Personalized HIV and Addiction Services Expansion program, or PHASE IV (P4), reaches out to minorities with substance use disorders and those who use intravenous (IV) drugs, as this puts them at increased risk for HIV infection. PHASE IV provides testing for HIV and also directly connects those who need it with substance misuse treatment, intensive case management and aftercare group services.

Supportive living
HUD Housing First is a no-barriers program providing long-term, community-based, scattered-site living for individuals who are unhoused with mental health and/or substance use needs.

Homeless outreach
In Okaloosa and Walton Counties, our PATH team provides specialized outreach and case management to homeless clients struggling with mental illness. PATH links eligible people to mental health and substance misuse treatment.
