Libertas Treatment

Freedom, the first step in recovering from dependency on alcohol or drugs, is a big step toward discovering or rediscovering life. "Libertas" is Italian for freedom. Recovering from chemical dependency involves hard work, commitment and a caring spirit. St. Joseph's Hospital is proud to offer the L. E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center (Chippewa Falls) and Libertas Treatment Center (Green Bay), two of the Midwest’s most respected treatment programs for freedom from chemical dependency. Our approach to chemical dependency treatment is of sincere concern and loving support. The foundation of our program dates back to the 1940’s when the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis opened one of the nation’s first chemical dependency treatment units at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Chippewa Falls. That program has guided many chemically dependent individuals and families to freedom. The hospital is an affiliate of the Hospital Sister Health System, headquartered in Springfield, Illinois. Both L. E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center and Libertas Treatment Center are accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and certified by the State of Wisconsin for treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse.
