Adolescent

Adolescent Services  

 At Libertas, treatment is available for adolescents ages 10-19 in an outpatient setting in Green Bay and Marinette. Here, treatment planning takes into account each child’s or young adult’s physical, social, educational, vocational, psychological and spiritual needs. An important aspect of Libertas's treatment philosophy is to keep patients active and productive in their daily lives - in their schools, communities and with their family and friends. An essential component of the treatment process is for patients to assume responsibility for their own recovery. 

Getting started 

At Libertas, recovery for adolescents begins with a phone screen, followed by a professional assessment of the patient's medical, psychological and substance use history by a licensed substance use counselor. From that assessment, the appropriate level of care is determined for each individual.  

With the ability to provide dual diagnosis, individuals are evaluated for both mental health and substance use disorder, allowing patients to receive the appropriate type and level of care under an integrated plan that effectively treats both conditions. 

What we treat 

Libertas is dedicated to providing compassionate care for teenagers who have substance use disorders including: 

• Alcohol use disorder 
• Opioid use disorder 
• Methamphetamine use disorder 
• Other drug addictions and substance use disorders 
• Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder

What we offer 

Libertas offers two approaches to treatment - group and individual  - with multiple levels of care including counseling, education, medication, family involvement and more. For group treatment, adolescents are placed with other children, teenagers and young adults ages 10-19, ensuring an age-appropriate support environment. 

 Libertas is also committed to connecting patients and their families with a higher level of care such as inpatient withdrawal management, residential treatment and sober living options as needed.
