CHARLIE'S STORY
Camelot Counseling Centers opened Staten Island's first adolescent male residential program in 1992. Incredibly, in New York City, there are fewer than 200 beds for youths in public treatment programs for chemical dependency. Camelot is prepared to house up to 35 young adults who will undergo rehabilitation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In our program, these young men will receive individual counseling, family therapy, group therapy, multi-family group, vocational services, on-site educational service and participate in recreational activities. Organizations like the Staten Island Children's Campaign assist agencies such as Camelot in restoring hope to struggling Island youths and provides them with the opportunity to turn their lives around.
