Camelot of Staten Island Inc

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Staten Island, 2 offer a bed.

They detox from cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Coming off cocaine without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 3 places near Staten Island that do it.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Staten Island it may be mixed.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Staten Island, not all of them do.

Staten Island has 123 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Treating one and postponing the other is the pattern that sends people back for a second attempt. Bring the existing diagnosis and the name of whoever currently treats it.

It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. If a license or a clearance is involved, get advice specific to your profession.
