Intensive Case Management Team (ICMT)

The overall purpose of the Intensive Case Management Teams are to improve the health care and outcomes for individuals and families who are impacted by problematic substance use or addiction with, or without, mental illness and are experiencing functional challenges related to community living, including housing and income. This aim achieved by providing intensive community based outreach services by a multi-disciplinary team that includes Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Life Skills Supports and a Psychiatrist.

The target population are adults 19 years of age or older with problematic substance use, or with chronic use, with or without mental illness, concurrent disorders (substance use and mental illness) or co-existing functional impairment. Individuals will also be facing complex challenges related to health, housing (ex., being homeless or unstably housed), poverty, and face barriers in accessing existing health or social services. Some may be involved in the criminal justice system and in need of additional services. They require more intensives services than are available in the traditional mental health substance use system.
