Adult Services
Confidential and supportive recovery programs for adults with substance use disorder.
Treatment for adults is available in an outpatient setting in Green Bay and Marinette. Here, treatment planning takes into account each person’s physical, social, educational, vocational, psychological and spiritual needs. An important aspect of Libertas' treatment philosophy is to keep patients active and productive in their daily lives - in their careers, communities and with their family and friends. An essential component of the treatment process is for patients to assume responsibility for their own recovery.

Taking medication to treat drug substance use is similar to taking medication to manage other medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes. Medications serve two purposes during treatment. First, they can help safely manage the withdrawal symptoms people often experience after they stop using substances. After withdrawal, medication can also reduce cravings throughout recovery, allowing patients to focus on their rehabilitation and personal growth.
At Libertas, a prescribing physician and licensed counselor work closely with each patient to develop and navigate their personalized care plan, ensuring medications are used safely and effectively while addressing the psychological and social aspects of recovery.
Medications for addiction treatment may include:
Buprenorphine or buprenorphine and naloxone to reduce opioid dependency, withdrawal effects and cravings.
Naltrexone to prevent someone with addiction to opioids from feeling the effects of heroin, morphine or codeine.
Naloxone training, education and distribution.
- forming empowering and supportive relationships.
- using self-disclosure in order to deepen connection and inspire hope.
- providing community and recovery-oriented resources.
- helping with self-determination and goal setting.
- creating an environment of respect for their peers.
- seeking to understand all aspects of their peers’ lives.
- supporting many pathways to recovery, wellness and meaningful living - understanding that each person is unique.
Libertas is also committed to connecting patients with a higher level of care such as inpatient withdrawal management, residential treatment and sober living options as needed.
