About Camelot – Concord High School
Camelot is a counseling program available at Concord High School in Staten Island, New York. It's sponsored by the City of New York’s Department of Education to help reduce violence at the high school. They also tackle the many factors that can lead up to violence. This includes mental health issues and drug abuse.
Camelot is pretty neat because students are directly involved. Up to 35 students are selected to act as ambassadors. What they do is write up articles, reach out to other students, and help foster communication so that all students are heard. They’re also paid, which is pretty awesome.
In terms of treatment, Camelot offers general outpatient care for students. This can include family therapy and crisis interventions. They want to reduce truancies and gang violence, stop kids from becoming criminals, help at-risk students, and stop drug addictions that can wreck students’ lives.
They also partner with parents and other community members. That way, students can address co-occurring disorders like depression and alienation. They definitely aim to de-escalate tensions before they erupt into violence at their school.

Our Methodology
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Levels of Care
Outpatient Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
The Camelot Family Association helps families and loved ones get the support, guidance, and direction they need. Once a week, trained counselors work with family groups to teach them to cope with the turmoil caused within families by substance abuse.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. Guidance counseling sessions introduce clients to the world of work. Camelot's vocational counselor assists clients with planning their job future, and offers placement assistance to those ready to work.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
