The Swedish specialist mental health services are striving to shift from a biomedical to a recovery-oriented perspective. Recovery-oriented services provide care and support that help persons in finding meaning in their lives and within their communities, regardless of their mental health needs. It entails a holistic approach towards persons with mental health needs, striving for personal recovery through empowerment and personal growth. Accordingly, the Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) model is implemented into the Swedish specialist mental health services. FACT is a recovery-oriented and team-based model that offers tailored care and support and works in close collaboration with social services to achieve recovery goals. In alignment with the person-centered approach, FACT strives to acknowledge persons with mental health needs as being capable. However, person-centred care emphasises initiating and sustaining partnership through listening to the persons narrative and by co-creating an individual plan. While individual plans are an important aspect of FACT, the co-creation of the plan, along with initiating and sustaining partnership is not explicitly stated. Instead, FACT emphasizes team-oriented practices and flexibility in care and support, which include the person with mental health needs.  We argue that FACT does not automatically lead to the delivery of person-centered care but rather supports the service providers to develop a person-centered approach. To conclude, we propose that the FACT manual should explicitly incorporate the characteristics of person-centered care. Doing so would enable service providers to fully understand the philosophy behind person-centered practice and strengthen efforts to support persons in achieving a meaningful life.
