L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center offers a comprehensive treatment and recovery program that emphasizes wellness, dignity, and self-respect. Our continuum of quality programs meets the specific needs of each individual and family. Treatment programs use a multi-disciplinary team of professionals including counselors, physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and pastoral care professionals. We are accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations and certified by the State of Wisconsin for treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse (DHS 75.06 and DHS 75-11).
The admission process starts with a telephone call to our intake staff at 715.723.5585 or toll-free, 800.680.4578. A brief history of your addiction and medical health will be obtained along with insurance information. LE Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center is a service of HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital. Criteria for admission must be met. We will assist with verifying your funding source to determine benefits available to you as well as determine whether preauthorization by your insurance carrier is required.
Admission is voluntary. We are not a locked facility. We do not hold patients against their will. The admission process starts with a telephone call to our intake staff at 715.723.5585 or toll-free, 800.680.4578.
Some insurance programs will cover a portion of treatment; however, you should consult with your carrier to verify HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital is within your provider network as well as obtain pre-authorization. We will bill insurance, Medicare, Badgercare, or county provided prior authorization is obtained when appropriate. Please bring your insurance card with you. This ensures we have the correct information and address for billing. Personal pay arrangements can be set up prior to admission. Badgercare Core Plus has no benefits for alcohol or drug treatment or mental health counseling, so another source of funding would have to be obtained prior to admission. Various insurances, Badgercare, and Medicare may also be managed by a Health Maintenance Organization, in which case a prior authorization would have to be obtained before admission. We will help you determine this when you call. A personal payment plan can be set up by calling Patient Accounts at 715.717.7678.

NOT ALLOWED:
Treatment does not end when you are discharged from inpatient treatment. An aftercare plan is set up with you and your counselor prior to discharge. This treatment plan contains recommendations for continuing care which will likely include continued counseling on an outpatient basis and additional services as appropriate.
Detoxification has both physical and emotional components. Detoxification services without follow-up and treatment services are very ineffective as a response to addiction. It simply places a sober, but vulnerable, addicted person back in the same environment. You will see a physician every day during your detoxification process. Your withdrawal symptoms will be managed by the physician and the nursing team. View signs you or your loved one may need detoxification services.
Patients are allowed to make phone calls. Landline phones are available by each lounge. A pre-paid long distance calling card is recommended for making long distance calls on the Center's land line phones.
We do not hold patients against their will.
