“Archangels gave me my life back. Their team is the most amazing, caring people I have ever met. The housing they sent me to was amazing, the groups are amazing, and this whole project is amazing. If you're tired of being sick and tired, reach out and save your life.”
“This facility is run by some of the best people you could ever ask for. They are extremely professional and truly dedicated to helping those struggling with mental health and addiction. They truly saved my life. I will be forever grateful for everything they did for me.”
“I had the honor of touring this facility, and it was absolutely beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed. But more than how it looked, you could feel the love in every detail. Watching the staff interact with clients genuinely touched my heart.”

A 60-second walkthrough of the Tinton Falls clinic, the space where the program actually runs.
A professional intervention is a structured conversation between a person with addiction and the people who love them, facilitated by a trained interventionist. Done well, it ends with a clear next step: a scheduled admission to treatment, with the logistics handled, and the family on the same page about boundaries going forward. Done badly, it can damage relationships and harden denial. This page explains what interventions are, when they make sense, and how The Archangel Centers coordinates them across New Jersey, North Carolina, and other states where the family lives.
This is a brand-level service. Interventions often involve travel, multiple states, and clients flying to treatment from outside our service areas. The same coordination team supports interventions regardless of which Archangel clinic the client ultimately admits to.
An intervention is a planned meeting in which family, close friends, and sometimes employers express, in a structured way, the impact of the loved one's addiction on themselves and offer a specific, immediate path to treatment. The interventionist is a trained professional, not a family member, and runs the meeting.
It is not an ambush. It is not a confrontation in the colloquial sense. It is not an attempt to manipulate a person into care they do not consent to. A well-run intervention preserves agency; it simply removes the ambiguity around what the family will or will not continue to support if treatment is declined.
Most families ask about interventions after one or more of the following:
Interventions are not appropriate for every situation. If the person has actively expressed willingness to enter treatment, the right next step is usually a direct admissions call, not an intervention. Call (888) 464-2144 and the team will help you decide.
Group rooms, private therapy offices, the medical office, family programming rooms, and the wellness space, designed for clinical depth and nervous-system regulation.
Several intervention models exist. We work with interventionists trained in the models the family and clinical team think will fit best.
The Archangel team helps families decide which model fits the situation, the loved one's history, and the family's capacity.
The process below describes a typical engagement. Each is adapted to the family.
1. First call. A family member calls (888) 464-2144. The team listens, gathers history, and identifies whether intervention is the right tool. 2. Pre-planning with the family. A pre-intervention session (in person, by video, or by phone) prepares the family, identifies the model, and aligns on what each person will say and what they will and will not continue to support. 3. Match with a trained interventionist. We work with a network of credentialed interventionists across multiple states. The interventionist runs the actual meeting. 4. Treatment bed secured before the meeting. The single most important predictor of whether an intervention "works" (in the sense of an immediate admission) is whether there is a confirmed treatment bed and a logistics plan in place before the meeting. Admissions, insurance verification, and (where needed) transportation are arranged in advance. 5. The intervention itself. A structured meeting, usually 60 to 90 minutes, led by the interventionist. 6. Immediate next step. If the loved one accepts treatment, the logistics roll into motion. If detox is needed first, we coordinate placement with an accredited partner detox facility and the step-down into Archangel outpatient care. 7. Family follow-through. Whether or not the loved one accepts treatment, the family is supported afterward. The intervention is not the end of the family's work.
This is the question every family asks. Sometimes the answer is yes, and the immediate admission follows. Sometimes the answer is no. A well-run intervention prepares the family for either outcome.
If the answer is no:
Treatment integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care with EMDR available in individual therapy. The medical provider manages MAT (Suboxone, Vivitrol, Sublocade) and psychiatric medications when indicated.
Intake uses the full evidence-based battery: ASAM Criteria, LOCUS for mental health acuity, PHQ-9, GAD-7, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, plus biopsychosocial, nutrition, and pain screens. The assessment drives the treatment plan from day one.
See Our ModalitiesProfessional intervention services are generally not covered by health insurance, as interventions occur before clinical admission. The treatment that follows the intervention (detox, PHP, IOP, OP) is typically covered. The Archangel team is transparent about intervention service fees and the treatment cost picture during the first call.
Interventions are a brand-level service. We coordinate interventions for families living in:
Travel logistics, including transportation from the meeting to treatment, are part of the coordination.
“I came back from rock bottom. I'm here because I want to show others they can too. This isn't just a business. It's my mission.”- Mike Sorrentino, Founder
Mike and Lauren Sorrentino did not set out to build a generic treatment center. They wanted a recovery-grounded program that mixes lived experience, licensed clinical expertise, and family programming that actually moves the needle for the people who love someone in active addiction.
The clinic that resulted is small enough that each client knows their primary therapist by name, but resourced enough to deliver the full ASAM continuum from Partial Care through outpatient continuing care, with MAT and EMDR available when clinically indicated.
Read the Full StoryMost clients leave the first admissions call with a clinical assessment, an insurance verification, and a scheduled start date. Recovery starts with a decision, not a commitment. The admissions line is staffed around the clock.
Confidential, 24/7 admissions. Same-week placement is often available. Verify your insurance free of charge before any commitment.
