Find Hope Close to Home
At L.E. Phillips-Libertas, you’ll find comfort in a center of excellence that provides a holistic recovery program for people struggling with substance use challenges. It’s a part of a collaborative effort between L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center and Prevea Health to help individuals addicted to heroin, opioid and/or methamphetamine.
In 2020, L.E. Phillips-Libertas was awarded a federal grant from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to lead and operate a Northwest Wisconsin Heroin Opioid Prevention Education (HOPE) Consortium for rural opioid response planning on how to best provide additional resources in Barron, Chippewa, Rusk and Washburn Counties. In 2021, L.E. Phillips-Libertas was awarded additional grant funding from HRSA to implement an opioid response plan developed by the Northwest Wisconsin Heroin Opioid Prevention Education (NW WI HOPE) Consortium.
Model of Care
By using a person-centered and self-directed approach to care, L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center builds on the strength and resilience of individuals, families and communities to take responsibility for their sustained health, wellness and recovery from substance use.
People in recovery and their loved ones are involved in all aspects and phases of treatment. All services are individualized, and a multidisciplinary recovery plan is developed with the person receiving services and any others he or she identifies. By including the person’s hopes, assets, strengths, interests and goals, each person’s recovery plan reflects a complete understanding of behavioral health concerns, medical concerns and the desire to build a meaningful life in the community.
Who qualifies?
L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center provides services to people living with a substance use disorder. All patients are welcome; however, priority admission is given to women who are pregnant.

The substance abuse counselor is the individual’s point of contact to coordinate all aspects of his or her care including primary care, peer and recovery supports, therapy, employment skills training, medication monitoring and individual and family education by counselors in their home area.
