The Foundry Society

The Program

What you're actually signing up for.

No mystery, no fine print. Here's exactly how the work runs, what's expected of you, and how a man completes it.

The rhythm

We meet seven days a week for sessions of roughly one to two hours, and every man completes a daily check-in, seven days a week. Mentorship is delivered primarily one-on-one — it goes after the root-cause trauma underneath the behavior and toward the concrete goals you set for your own life.

This is a six-month minimum commitment. You're free to stay on past six months at your own discretion, and many men do — as alumni, and eventually as mentors.

Let's be straight about what this is

The Foundry Society is not therapy and it is not treatment. We are not a clinical or licensed treatment facility, and program staff are not licensed clinicians. This is not a substitute for professional medical, psychiatric, or addiction care. It's men doing demanding, honest work alongside other men who've done it themselves. That's the whole design — and it's why we never dress it up as anything else.

Drug screening, plainly

We run periodic 12-panel instant urine screenings. Instant tests are presumptive — they are not the final word. Any presumptive positive is sent to a certified laboratory for confirmation, and every program decision is made on the lab-confirmed result, not the instant test.

The accountability ladder

A lab-confirmed positive carries consequences. We don't hide them, and we don't move them:

  1. First confirmed positive — written warning, additional check-ins, and a written accountability plan with your mentor.
  2. Second confirmed positive — suspension for a period set by the Founder.
  3. Third confirmed positive — removal from the program.

Refusing to test, failing to produce a sample in a reasonable window, or a tampered or adulterated sample is treated as a confirmed positive — and may mean immediate removal, at the Founder's discretion.

Every screening goes in a written log: date, test type, result, and a photo of the collection event. Lab confirmations are kept with it.

What completion takes

You don't age out of this program and you can't coast through it. Completion is time plus milestones — both, assessed by your mentor.

The six-month minimum, with daily participation. And these four:

  1. Vision

    You can name a personal vision and concrete life goals — a picture of the life worth staying for.

  2. Root-cause work

    Sustained engagement with root-cause and inner-child trauma work in one-on-one mentorship. You've gone underneath the behavior.

  3. Accountability

    Demonstrated accountability, consistency, and honesty across daily check-ins. You show up even when it's hard.

  4. Integration

    You're applying what you've built here in your real life, outside the room.

This is a second shot.

If you're ready to do the work, it starts with a conversation — not a contract.
