Drug & alcohol rehab centers in Staten Island, NY

Our directory is built to help you compare real treatment options, not to sell placements. We compile facility listings from public licensing records, verified provider information and accreditation databases, then organize them so you can filter by level of care, payment type and specialty program. Listings are surfaced based on relevance to your search, the completeness and accuracy of a facility's verified information and signals of quality such as state licensure and third-party accreditation.

We give weight to facilities that hold recognized accreditations and that clearly document the services, payment options and populations they serve. Advertising relationships never buy a higher position or a more favorable description. When information cannot be independently verified, we say so rather than filling the gap. Our goal is a listing you can trust enough to pick up the phone and make a call.

Staten Island is the borough of New York City that shares its boundaries with Richmond County, home to just over 500,000 residents across roughly 58 square miles. It is the least densely populated of the five boroughs, and for years its treatment infrastructure lagged behind the rest of the city even as its overdose rate climbed.

Our directory currently lists 31 treatment facilities serving Staten Island, spanning medical detox, residential care, outpatient clinics, and dual diagnosis programs. You can compare these alongside options in the other boroughs through the New York rehab directory.

The borough's addiction care landscape is coordinated in large part through community organizations rather than a single county health authority. The Staten Island Partnership for Community Wellness and Community Health Action of Staten Island (CHASI) anchor much of the local prevention, harm reduction and recovery-support work, and Richmond University Medical Center and Staten Island University Hospital serve as the borough's main hospital-based points of entry for people who need medical stabilization.

The full range of addiction treatment options is represented locally, from short-term detox to longer residential stays and community-based outpatient care. Opioids, and fentanyl in particular, have driven the borough's overdose crisis. In fact, fentanyl was present in roughly 80% of New York City overdose deaths in 2023, and Staten Island had one of the highest borough overdose rates in the city for several years running.

That history shaped a concentrated local response. In October 2023, Richmond County District Attorney Michael McMahon convened the Staten Island Fentanyl and Overdose Task Force, bringing together the NYPD, hospitals, treatment providers and families who had lost loved ones. If opioids are the primary concern for you or someone you love, our guide to opioid use disorder explains what treatment involves.

There are encouraging signs. In 2024, Staten Island recorded an 81-death toll from overdoses, down from 145 in 2023, a 49% decline in opioid overdose deaths that was the steepest of any New York City borough. Officials credit the coordinated task-force model and expanded access to naloxone and treatment. The need has not disappeared, but the trend suggests that connecting people to care is working.

There is no single price for addiction treatment. What you pay depends on the level of care, how long you stay, the amenities a facility offers and above all whether you use insurance. The figures below reflect statewide New York averages for the full, uninsured cost of each level of care.

They are useful as a ceiling for planning, but most people pay considerably less once insurance, Medicaid, or sliding-scale pricing is applied. Because Staten Island sits within the New York City metro, where the cost of living runs above the state as a whole, local prices tend to fall at or above these averages.

Verifying your benefits before you commit is the single most effective way to bring the real number down, and confirming what your plan covers is worth doing before you compare facilities.

These averages combine every type of program, and the high end is pulled up by intensive medical detox and long residential stays. If you are weighing a residential program against community-based care, the level-of-care overviews further down this page explain what each includes and who it tends to fit. Several factors move your final cost up or down:

Cost should not be the reason anyone goes without treatment, and on Staten Island it usually does not have to be. Of the 31 facilities in our directory, most accept some combination of insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and self-payment, and many offer sliding-scale fees or financial assistance for people who qualify. The mix below shows how Staten Island facilities in our listings handle payment.

Understanding which of these applies to your situation is the first step. Below is a closer look at the payment paths most Staten Island residents use.

Staten Island's 31 facilities span the core levels of addiction care, from medically supervised detox through residential rehab, community-based outpatient treatment and dual diagnosis programs. The counts below reflect the facilities in our directory that offer each level of care.

Medical detox is often the first step for people with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines. Supervised detox manages withdrawal safely and reduces the risk of complications; our overview of medically supervised detox explains what the process involves and how long it typically lasts.

Inpatient and residential rehab provides a structured, live-in setting where people stay full-time and receive therapy, medical support and a sober environment away from everyday triggers. Learn more about residential treatment and who it tends to fit best.

Outpatient care lets people receive treatment while living at home and keeping up work, school or family responsibilities. It ranges from standard weekly counseling to more intensive schedules. Our guide to outpatient rehab and intensive outpatient programs breaks down the options.

Dual diagnosis programs, the most common specialty in the borough's listings, treat substance use alongside co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety. Integrated care matters because these conditions often reinforce each other; our overview of co-occurring depression and addiction explains why treating both together produces better outcomes.

Sober living homes offer substance-free housing for people transitioning out of intensive treatment, reinforcing the routines and accountability that support long-term recovery. See how these fit into rehab aftercare and continuing care.

Beyond the standard levels of care, many Staten Island facilities tailor treatment to specific populations and substances. Programs designed around a shared experience, whether that is gender, age, or a particular substance, can make treatment feel more relevant and easier to stay engaged with. The counts below reflect specialty programs available across the borough's listed facilities.

Staten Island's specialty mix leans heavily toward alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder programs, which together account for the largest share of specialized care, reflecting the substances most involved in local treatment needs. A strong contingent of young adult programs addresses substance use among people in their late teens and twenties, a group for whom early intervention makes a lasting difference.

Our resource on young adult and college student substance use speaks to this population. Facilities offering LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care and dedicated rehab resources for veterans and military families round out the borough's options for people who benefit from care attuned to their specific experience.

Staten Island has built a dense network of free and low-cost recovery resources, much of it driven by community organizations that have become central to the borough's overdose response. Whether you need someone to talk to right now, a place to get naloxone or help finding treatment you can afford, the resources below are free to use and open to Staten Island residents.

In a life-threatening emergency, call 911. For immediate emotional support, help is available around the clock through the crisis lines listed first.

Staten Island's overdose numbers tell a story of both crisis and progress. After years of rising fatalities that pushed the borough to one of the highest overdose death rates in New York City, 2024 brought the sharpest decline anywhere in the five boroughs.

The figures below draw on the NYC Health Department, the NYC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and the Staten Island Fentanyl and Overdose Task Force. Fentanyl remains the central driver of fatal overdoses, which is why access to opioid use disorder treatment and naloxone stays at the heart of the local response.

The borough's overdose death rate fell from 40.2 per 100,000 residents in 2023 to 20.7 per 100,000 in 2024, moving Staten Island from the second-highest to the fourth-highest rate among the five boroughs.

Officials attribute the turnaround to the coordinated task-force model, expanded naloxone distribution and stronger connections between hospitals and treatment providers. Compared with national trends tracked in our national substance use statistics, Staten Island's single-year decline stands out as one of the steepest in any large U.S. community, though local officials emphasize that the crisis is far from over.
