Camelot Counseling

About Camelot Counseling

Camelot Counseling is a sober living operator on Staten Island, New York, running men's residential recovery programs in Richmond County. Two certified residential addresses carry its name, one in Sea View and one in Port Richmond, and both house adult men with substance use disorders around the clock.

A Staten Island Recovery Housing Provider

Camelot Counseling works on one island and knows it well. Both residences sit inside Richmond County, staff move between them, and the clinical model is the same at each address. For a resident, that consistency is the practical benefit: house expectations, counseling structure and the path to aftercare do not change if a bed opens at the other building. The organization also runs outpatient services on Staten Island, so the step down from residential care stays inside the same agency.

Camelot Counseling Sober Homes on Staten Island

Two residential addresses carry the Camelot Counseling name:

• Wilson Residential, on Brielle Avenue in the Sea View section of Staten Island.
• Kuffner Residential, on Heberton Avenue in Port Richmond.

Brielle Avenue sits in the island's green center, near the Staten Island Greenbelt. Heberton Avenue is on the North Shore, minutes from Richmond Terrace and the working waterfront. The two neighborhoods feel entirely different, and someone who does badly in one setting sometimes does well in the other.

Six to Nine Months in a Men's Recovery Home

Camelot Counseling states an expected length of stay of roughly six to nine months at both residences, followed by an outpatient aftercare program. That number tells a prospective resident what kind of program this is. It is long enough to hold someone through the period when relapse risk is highest, and short enough that the program is planning for a discharge from the first week. Counseling runs individually, in groups and with families, and vocational and recreational programming fills out the schedule.

OASAS Certification Across These Sober Living Programs

Both Camelot Counseling addresses are certified by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports as residential programs. New York does not require sober housing to be certified, so the certification is a choice. It commits each residence to defined staffing, clinical supervision, written admission and discharge policy, incident reporting and state inspection. The process an organization goes through to hold it is set out in the OASAS application guide.

Serving Men Across Richmond County Recovery Housing

Staten Island has the smallest population of the five boroughs and a serious overdose problem, and residential capacity here is thin. Camelot Counseling accounts for a substantial share of the certified men's residential beds in Richmond County. Residents come from across the island and from the other boroughs, and the ferry from St. George puts lower Manhattan twenty five minutes away for court dates, family visits and work.

Reaching This Staten Island Sober Living Operator

Admissions run through Camelot Counseling directly. The questions to ask at the organization level are about the agency: how long it has operated residential programs on Staten Island, whether it takes referrals from hospitals, courts and treatment providers, how fees and any resident contribution are handled, whether medication for opioid use disorder is supported, and how a complaint escalates past the house and up to the agency and the state.
