By the end of the assessment, you will have a clear picture of:
- Whether your substance use meets clinical criteria for a substance use disorder
- What level of care is likely the right fit, such as online IOP, online PHP, MAT, or standard outpatient

Does an Online Drug Addiction Assessment Cover Dual-Diagnosis?
Yes, an online drug addiction assessment can evaluate dual-diagnosis conditions, identifying both drug addiction and underlying mental health disorders like PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Treating both conditions together is essential for long-term addiction recovery and improved well-being.
Freeman Recovery Online provides online drug addiction treatment that includes telebehavioral health support if you have a dual mental diagnosis. Our specialists assess your symptoms and recommend appropriate rehabilitation services, whether you need web-based mental health support or a virtual intensive outpatient program in Tennessee.
How Freeman Recovery Online Delivers Drug Assessments
Freeman Recovery Online is the telehealth branch of Freeman Recovery Center, which has been delivering addiction and dual diagnosis treatment in Tennessee since its formal incorporation in 2012, with roots going back to 2005 when founder Shawn Baker began helping people in recovery before there was a formal program at all. That history matters because the clinical standards behind this online platform are the same ones that earned Freeman Recovery Center Joint Commission accreditation and Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS) licensure.
The virtual assessment takes place over secure video or phone. You do not need to drive anywhere or sit in a waiting room. If you are in Tennessee, a licensed clinician from Freeman Recovery Online will conduct your evaluation, review your history, and give you a real clinical recommendation, not a sales pitch.
Here is what to expect during the process:
- Initial contact. Call (615) 645-3677 or submit the online form online to schedule your free assessment.
- Clinical evaluation. A licensed professional reviews your substance use history, frequency of use, and impact on daily functioning.
- Screening for co-occurring conditions. The assessment screens for underlying mental health concerns that commonly accompany substance use disorders.
- Level of care recommendation. Based on your results, the clinician recommends the appropriate program tier within the continuum of care.
- Insurance verification. If you want to move forward, the admissions team can verify your benefits at no charge.
Same-day admissions are available for patients who are ready to begin treatment immediately after completing their assessment.
What Happens After the Assessment: Connecting to the Right Level of Care
The drug assessment is the entry point to a full continuum of virtual treatment options that Freeman Recovery Online offers for substance use disorders. Depending on your results, you may be recommended for one of the following.
Online Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Online IOP is the most common recommendation for people whose substance use has progressed to the level of a clinical diagnosis but who do not require 24/7 medical supervision. Sessions take place multiple times per week via secure video, and evening scheduling is available for people managing work, school, or family obligations.
Online Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Online PHP is a higher-intensity option for people who need more structured daily programming. It involves several hours of clinical sessions each weekday, including individual therapy, group therapy, and skills-based work. PHP is also a common step-down option after completing residential treatment or medically monitored detox.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
For people with opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder, MAT may be recommended alongside behavioral therapy. Freeman Recovery Online integrates FDA-approved medications, including buprenorphine (Suboxone) and naltrexone, with clinical counseling as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Dual Diagnosis Track
If your assessment identifies co-occurring mental health concerns alongside your substance use, Freeman Recovery Online’s virtual dual diagnosis track addresses both simultaneously. Treating only the substance use without addressing underlying depression, PTSD, anxiety, or mood disorders is one of the most common contributors to relapse. The integrated approach treats the full clinical picture.
Sober Living and Step-Down Support
For patients who complete virtual programming and need stable, structured housing during their continued recovery, Freeman Recovery Center maintains gender-specific sober living homes across Middle Tennessee. The admissions team can discuss housing options as part of your overall care plan.
What Questions Are Asked During an Online Drug Abuse Evaluation?
During a drug assessment online, you will be asked questions tailored to your specific situation. The assessment helps determine the right addiction treatment and whether you may need behavioral therapy, drug detox, or a recovery program. Providing honest and detailed answers is essential for an accurate evaluation. Be sure to mention any mental health concerns or dual-diagnosis conditions.
- What substances do you use, and how often?: This helps assess the severity of your drug addiction and determine the most appropriate drug abuse treatment options.
- When did you first use drugs or alcohol?: Understanding the history of use helps in creating a personalized addiction recovery plan.
- Have you tried to stop using before?: This question identifies past attempts at recovery programs and any challenges with withdrawal symptoms or relapse prevention.
- Are you experiencing any withdrawal symptoms?: Symptoms like nausea, anxiety, or tremors can indicate physical dependence, which may require drug detox.
- Have drugs or alcohol affected your work, relationships, or daily life?: This helps determine the effects of your drug addiction and whether inpatient rehab or outpatient treatment is the best option.
- Do you have any mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or OCD? Dual-diagnosis conditions require specialized behavioral therapy to treat both mental health disorders and substance use.
- Have you experienced a drug overdose or other health effects of drug abuse?: A history of overdoses or serious health issues may indicate a need for intensive treatment or a virtual partial hospitalization program.
- Do you have a support system at home?: Recovery support from family, friends, or a sober living environment can improve long-term success in rehabilitation services.
These questions help us determine the right level of care, whether you need inpatient treatment or care via telemental health solutions.
