Many people who experience alcohol or substance use disorders also have a mental health disorder. This is called a dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders—when you experience both simultaneously. Oftentimes, one influences the other, so it’s important to receive a proper diagnosis to understand the best type of treatment needed.

In addition to performing a drug and alcohol assessment and mental health evaluations for those who experience substance misuse, the team at Freeman Recovery Center also offers free dual diagnosis testing. We start with an evaluation to gain a better understanding of your situation which will help guide the best treatment program to assist you through recovery.

    Can I Do An Online Drug and Alcohol Test for Free?

Meeting with a Freeman Recovery team member also allows you to review our admissions process, treatment plans, and any potential withdrawal symptoms you may experience during recovery.

              I love this place! I look forward to coming back Freeman Alumni I will forever be greatful for you giving me my life, family, sobriety, and marriage back! I came in and instantly wanted to leave I was scared and assumed how this place was based on looks then I made it to class and met the people and employees and fell in love! Like anywhere else its what you make of it. The EMDR therapy was phenomenal I was not a believer but it was one of the most helpful things I did I also enjoyed the Acupuncture. The only complaint I have is the staff that I loved are no longer there. Please reconsider bringing them back they helped me see the light!

              This is my second review. It will be just wonderful as my first. My husband was here last year and they were wonderful. Unfortunately at no fault of anyone there he is now back. This second time they were just as wonderful. They got him a bed the first day he called them. When he arrived they all welcomed him again. No one ever wants to have their family member to have to go through addiction but thank God for people like Freeman who truly care and want nothing but the best. I look forward to watching my husband’s progress and being there every step of the way. Thank you Freeman for caring and not ever giving up.
