Referral Process

While most referrals to Libertae come from other drug and alcohol treatment providers and social service agencies, anyone can refer potential residents to us by calling the main office at 215-639-8681, ext. 201 for information or assistance.

Before an interview at Libertae can take place, individuals accessing public funding must secure funding from their county of residence. A drug and alcohol assessment is required from an approved assessment site. Each county has their own resources for this. Libertae can assist you with this process and provide contact information for your County Drug and Alcohol Authority and/or Insurance Company.
