“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.
Addiction treatment is delivered along a continuum of care, from the most intensive (24-hour medically managed inpatient treatment) to the least intensive (occasional individual therapy in outpatient continuing care). The level of care that fits depends on the clinical picture, the home environment, the medical and psychiatric situation, and the practical constraints of work and family. This pillar page explains each level, how the levels relate, and how to think about choosing one over another.
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) publishes the most widely used framework for matching clients to levels of care, the ASAM Criteria. We use it.
The Archangel Centers delivers Levels 1, 2.1, and 2.5 at our Tinton Falls and Charlotte clinics, plus virtual outpatient for New Jersey residents. For Level 3 and Level 4 (inpatient and detox), we coordinate placement with accredited partner facilities.
| Level | What it is | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| Early intervention (Level 0.5) | Brief, often pre-clinical, screening and brief intervention | Primary care, employer programs, college health |
| Outpatient (Level 1) | Less than 9 clinical hours per week | Clinic, virtual |
| Intensive Outpatient (Level 2.1) | 9 hours or more clinical hours per week, not full days | Clinic, virtual |
| Partial Hospitalization (Level 2.5) | 20 or more clinical hours per week, full clinical days | Clinic |
| Residential / Inpatient (Level 3.x) | 24-hour residential clinical setting | Inpatient or residential facility |
| Medically Managed Intensive Inpatient (Level 4) | 24-hour hospital-based medical management | Hospital |

The ASAM Criteria define six "dimensions" the clinical team evaluates at intake:
1. Acute intoxication and withdrawal potential Does the person need medical management of withdrawal? 2. Biomedical conditions and complications Are there medical issues that affect treatment? 3. Emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications Co-occurring mental health or cognitive issues 4. Readiness to change How prepared is the person to engage in treatment? 5. Relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential Risk of returning to use 6. Recovery environment How supportive (or unsupportive) is the person's living situation?
The matching is dimensional, not categorical. A person with severe use but a strong support environment may fit a lower level of care than the severity alone would suggest. A person with milder use in a chaotic environment may need a higher level. Clinical judgment matters; this is why level-of-care decisions are made by credentialed clinical staff in collaboration with the client.
Call (888) 464-2144. The admissions team runs a confidential clinical assessment alongside insurance verification. The medical director or Clinical Director reviews the picture and recommends a level. You retain agency in the decision; the team supplies the clinical reasoning.
Medical detox is its own level of care (Level 3.7 or 4 in the ASAM Criteria depending on medical complexity). It is appropriate when withdrawal management requires medical supervision. Common substances requiring detox include alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids.
The Archangel Centers does not provide medical detox on-site. We coordinate placement with accredited partner detox facilities and then receive the client into our outpatient continuum for step-down. See:
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 ModalitiesInpatient rehab is a 24-hour residential treatment setting. It is appropriate when a client cannot safely or productively engage in recovery while living at home, or when the clinical picture requires 24-hour clinical presence.
The Archangel Centers does not run a residential facility. We coordinate placement with accredited partner inpatient facilities and step the client down into our outpatient continuum after the inpatient stay. See:
The default direction is descending: detox → inpatient → PHP → IOP → OP → alumni programming. But the continuum runs in both directions. A client in OP whose clinical picture intensifies (a relapse, a triggering life event, escalating co-occurring symptoms) can step back up to IOP or PHP for a defined period, then step down again. Cycling between levels as needed is clinically appropriate; it is not a failure.
The levels described above are delivered at our two clinics. To see the specific program, schedule, and admissions detail for a level of care at the location nearest you, start here:
Insurance carriers use medical necessity criteria (often the ASAM Criteria, or proprietary criteria that overlap heavily) to authorize specific levels of care. The clinical case for each level is documented at intake and reviewed periodically. The Archangel admissions team manages prior authorization and ongoing utilization review with the carrier, with the client's signed release.

“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.
