I tried to donate some furniture and they wouldn t take it because it had bad spot on it. This is a lazy boy leather sofa and if I were broke I would have loved to have this but they didn t think it was worth it. I will never donate anything to this company.

The Foundry has helped me totally transform my life! I battled addiction for 26 years. With the help of The Foundry I was able to break those chains that held me down for so long. I have to give all the Glory to God, but they have created an environment that nurishes the body,mind, and spirit! They teach people that we're not perfect, we can't let our past define us, and how important your relationshio with God plays in recovery! The place is not perfect but I am giving The Foundry a 5 star rating because Absolutely Everything You need to change is there. I'd like to personally thank each and every staff member there because of there dilligance in helping make a change in so many peoples lives!

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, people in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Participants reside at the rehab facility until they complete their treatment program. This allows them to focus solely on their recovery, away from outside distractions, stressors, and addiction triggers. Inpatient drug rehab typically involves extensive addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and complementary therapies.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

This feature offers constant supervision in situations like medical detox, where a team of professionals are on hand to ensure the withdrawal processs is performed safely and comfortably.

Treatments

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.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.

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 !!!
