Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are designed to provide support to you after completing an addiction treatment program. These programs are highly customized and evolve with your changing needs. You'll partner with staff at the treatment center to identify any specific medical, behavioral, and social services needed to support your sustained sobriety. Aftercare services may include peer coaching, career counseling, and other personalized support.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Alabama provides medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for drug dependency. Methods of treatment often include a combination of medication, counseling, and recreational therapies.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy provides men and women in Alabama a supportive environment where they can share experiences, build connections, and receive encouragement from their peers who are facing similar challenges with drug addiction and co occurring mental health conditions.

My counselor gave me a better understanding of who I am and how can I work with Christ. Remember that rules and boundaries exist for a reason, so it is better if you just follow them up with that. I am grateful for the amount of accountability that they make the patients hav ... Read More

My friend and I go treasure shopping every Friday and we just wanted to share how much fun we have at The Foundry. It is so organized and clean, and the staff is always helpful and friendly! It is our first stop and definitely our favorite of the day.

FECES COVERING THE BATHROOM WALLS AND ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICAL OVERSIGHT OF ANY KIND (UNLESS YOU CAN WAIT WEEKS) PLEASE DETOX BEFOREHAND no "medical" help, no medical detox, i received medication from other members of the program, was stuck with a massive er bill, and wish i had never ever agreed to go. I found the help I needed elsewhere. please go to a methadone clinic, or just another program. you will be forced to work no matter how bad the withdrawals.

This place is racist my son was repeatedly called nxgger by another patient..and when he told staff nothing was done another patient was offering drugs to my son that he brought into the facility during admissions the staff is unprofessional and are not welcoming at all. I should ve knew upon arrival this place wasn t a great place flies are everywhere for the time he was there he didn t receive any drug support as far as counseling. They take the guys and drop them off to work like dogs at their thrift store from 8am-5pm with no pay. This place is more like a homeless shelter than a rehabilitation facility if you or your loved one is seeking help this isn t the facility. They have guys whom have been there living in this center for years and yes they take them to the stores as needed in the most slimmiest drug ridden neighborhoods so of course they can sneak drugs in like that as well.. all in all you gotta want help to get it but it shouldn t have to struggle in rehab

I graduated from this program and I must say all these negative reviews are fueled by hurt feelings, broken hearts, and zero accountability. I would definitely agree that there are vile poisons with in the program, but no program is perfect and people whether they are staff, administration, or participants definitely aren't. Program will work if you want change. Period!

I truly do not have a good review at all about The Foundry !!! You are a Church of Christ based drug rehab, but you didn t treat a friend I bought to you like I know the Church should treat someone in rehab wanting to better themselves !! You are just eager to Judge them and kick them out with nothing but the clothes on their back and then we called for his items and you gave them away !! Jesus would want you to help and help and help !!!! percent disappointed would not recommend you to help anyone !!!

There are some good people here at least when I went through program twice back 2012-2014. Again met a few great people there and I am still friends with many of the people I met here to this day. However now that I have 6 years off opiates I see the extreme problems this 'ministry' has. Beyond the many ways I am sure they are using this place as a massive tax shelter to rack in millions a year off the backs of the people desperate for help, they also have no real addiction structure to the program other than glorified bible study and no real counseling. The main goal is to staff and run their many properties which include several thrift stores and housing facilities. When I was there I stayed in the dorms which were infested with cockroaches and rats. I caught 12 rats in one day after setting traps near my food storage locker. Many people passed away while I was there, most where people that left the program or where kicked out and would OD shortly after. Josh Casey, Greg Day, Shane Black, Jeff King, Big Jeff, Will Bright to name just a few of the great guys I met and who passed away while they were in or near the program. I wish that all of their families know peace, and I am honored to have known them. They claim some sort of religious exemption and yes we would go to church there but it was some sort of quasi-religious program with this really strange man named Ricky Todd leading praise music with the same 12 songs over and over and over again for a year. Bill Hines would preach the same 12 sermons over and over again. I heard his son got a girl pregnant who was in the program at one time years ago from several people as well. The main purpose again of this program is to make money off free labor, real estate, private donations etc. Do not send your son or daughter here if you can go any where else. I would suggest going to ALR in Bessemer. Robbie Kibbell is a great man and runs a fine program that is 12 Step based. I am saying all this hopefully save your son or daughter's life. With fentanyl killing so many people anyone that takes advantage of addicts is doing the work of Satan and not God.

I hope that you can t sleep as I can t. You kicked my son out of the program because he would fall asleep and snore very loudly . I spoke to Scott about health issues that he may have had and he was very polite and understanding. He was willing to let him go to medical the following Thursday. Days later I got a call from my son that some white boys keeps telling that he fall asleep.I m not a aggressive person but I am woman that goes to the end of the earth for my children. I m not a racist either but I am aware that the lighter complexion tends to be more privileged.There s a short man at the front that I think was a recovered addict that had it out for my son. I want to refer to him as runt . The runt was constantly picking with him.My son was kicked out of the program because he refused a drug store that he felt he was being treated unfairly. Bring kicked out would mean 17 years in prison for my son.July 20th my son s heart stopped. He had heart problems which explained a lot the medical things that was happening to him.I lost my baby!!!!!! 28 years old!! And I feel he would have still been here if he was not treated so unfairly. I don t even remember the other man s name that sat in for conversation with me and my son in the place of Scott. But he was a bit rude to me as well. He just walked out of the room while I was speaking. Such disrespect. I rarely give google reviews but this had to be said.I was told when I pulled up to the business that people were very racist. I ignored it because I prayed for the best.Good luck to all of you going to this facility or any for that matterGrieving mother
