A 60-second walkthrough of the Tinton Falls clinic, the space where the program actually runs.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient addiction treatment. Clients attend the program a full clinical day, typically Monday through Friday, working through group therapy, individual sessions, and (where indicated) medication management. They go home or to sober living in the evenings. PHP fills the clinical space between residential (24-hour) treatment and intensive outpatient (a few hours, several days a week), and is often the right setting after detox or an inpatient stay, or for severe outpatient presentations that need more structure than IOP can provide.
A note on terminology in New Jersey. State regulators license this level of care as "Partial Care" or "Day Treatment," and many clinicians use the terms interchangeably. The acronym PHP appears in industry and insurance language. The clinical content is the same.
PHP, in the ASAM Criteria framework, is Level 2.5. It is defined by:
PHP is sometimes called "day treatment" or "day hospital" in older literature. The clinical content is what matters; the labels vary.
PHP is generally appropriate when:
Group rooms, private therapy offices, the medical office, family programming rooms, and the wellness space, designed for clinical depth and nervous-system regulation.
A typical clinical day in a well-designed PHP includes:
For how this looks at our specific clinics, see Partial Care at Tinton Falls and PHP at Charlotte.
There is no fixed length. A typical episode runs about 30 days. The length is clinically driven, set by the treatment team based on the client's progress and the broader continuum plan. Some clients step down to IOP sooner; others remain in PHP longer if the clinical picture requires it.
PHP is rarely a standalone level of care. It almost always sits inside a longer continuum:
The Archangel Centers handles transitions within the same clinical relationship where possible, so progress is not lost in a handoff.
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 ModalitiesMost commercial insurance plans cover PHP at in-network rates when medical necessity is documented. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act applies; coverage for SUD PHP cannot be less favorable than coverage for medical or surgical day programs.
Length of stay authorization is typically reviewed periodically by the carrier, based on the clinical team's documentation of medical necessity. The Archangel team manages prior authorization and ongoing utilization review with the client's signed release.

The most common question at intake is whether PHP or IOP is the right starting point. The short version:
For the detailed comparison, see PHP vs IOP.
PHP and inpatient (residential) treatment are different settings, not different intensities. Inpatient includes the residential component (24-hour clinical presence, structured housing, meals, sleep), which matters when the home environment is itself a barrier to recovery. PHP delivers the clinical content of inpatient without the residential piece; clients sleep at home or in sober living. For some clinical pictures, PHP is appropriate without an inpatient stay; for others, inpatient is the necessary starting point.
If you are ready to start treatment rather than learn more about it, you can jump directly to the clinic that serves your region:
Both clinics deliver the same evidence-based curriculum (CBT, DBT, MAT, EMDR available, dual-diagnosis care). The intake process is identical: a single-call clinical assessment plus insurance verification, with same-week placement often available. To start, verify your insurance or call (888) 464-2144.
“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.
