"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."

"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 matter Grieving mother"

"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."
