Camelot of Staten Island Inc

They provide inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Bayonne is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Staten Island.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Staten Island that often means one room rather than two.

Staten Island has 167 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Staten Island.

Veterans are one of the 9 groups they offer a program for.

It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. Many centers will spread a balance over months, and those terms are negotiable more often than people assume. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
