Progressive Treatment Program

The Progressive Treatment Program (PTP) is a program limited to certain persons with severe and persistent mental illness who are involuntarily hospitalized at Riverview or Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Centers and meet specific criteria. If these criteria are met, a person can be assigned by the court to a specialized outpatient Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team where he or she will receive treatment in the least restrictive setting. The PTP is available only in the Augusta and Bangor areas.
