A 60-second walkthrough of the Tinton Falls clinic, the space where the program actually runs.
Opioid Addiction Treatment in Tinton Falls, NJ at The Archangel Centers supports adults with opioid use disorder, often alongside co-occurring depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain. The full outpatient continuum is delivered on-site in Monmouth County, serving clients across the Jersey Shore navigating heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid dependence.
The clinic operates under New Jersey DMHAS state licensure. Clinical work follows the ASAM framework. Clinical leadership is held by Jamie Salsberg, Clinical Director. Partial Care runs six days per week; IOP runs three or five days per week at three clinical hours per session; OP is continuing care. MAT continuity is the spine of treatment across every level.
The on-site medical provider conducts the initial consult within approximately 48 hours and manages the OUD formulary: Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) as the primary medication, Sublocade (monthly injectable buprenorphine), and Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone). Methadone is not in our formulary; clients who need methadone are referred to a federally licensed opioid treatment program. CBT and DBT carry the psychotherapy side, with trauma-informed care and EMDR available.
Single-call admissions handle assessment, insurance verification, clinical review, and a scheduled start. Same-week placement is often possible. The clinic is at 44 Apple Street, Suite 3, off Route 35.
The Archangel Centers in Tinton Falls delivers the outpatient continuum for opioid use disorder to clients across Monmouth County and the Jersey Shore. The clinical team works with a manageable caseload so the primary therapist holds the longitudinal view. The clinic was co-founded by Mike and Lauren Sorrentino. Because the illicit opioid supply is now widely contaminated with fentanyl, MAT continuity and overdose prevention are core to every plan.
Licensed for Partial Care, IOP, and OP for SUD and co-occurring mental health. Work follows the ASAM framework.
IOP runs in morning or evening blocks where possible. Virtual IOP and OP is available to NJ residents so MAT continuity does not require missing shifts.
Early medical contact prevents gaps in buprenorphine dosing for clients on prior MAT or initiating new induction.
CBT targets the trigger-thought-craving chain; DBT supports emotion regulation; motivational interviewing handles ambivalence about MAT; trauma-informed care is the default with EMDR available.
The intake battery (ASAM, LOCUS, PHQ-9, GAD-7, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, biopsychosocial, pain and nutrition screens) drives a plan addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain alongside OUD from day one.
Suboxone is the primary medication. Sublocade offers a monthly injectable option. Vivitrol is available for clients fully off opioids. Methadone is not in our formulary; clients who need methadone are referred to a federally licensed opioid treatment program.
Same-week placement is often possible. The 24/7 admissions line at (888) 464-2144 conducts the assessment, insurance verification, and clinical review in a single call.
Includes family therapy, support group, Narcan training, and progress updates to designated family under signed release.
Group rooms, private therapy offices, the medical office, family programming rooms, and the wellness space, designed for clinical depth and nervous-system regulation.
For clients arriving after coordinated detox, Partial Care provides the structured post-detox environment, and buprenorphine induction often begins during or directly after detox. Most clients begin to notice cravings, sleep, and GI symptoms stabilizing within the first one to two weeks on a therapeutic Suboxone or Sublocade dose.
CBT trigger work and DBT urge-surfing skills target the craving cycle. Many OUD clients on stable buprenorphine begin to notice meaningful reductions in craving intensity within the first month. Sublocade removes daily dosing decisions.
Most clients experience disrupted sleep, restless legs, and low energy during early stabilization, with full normalization taking weeks. Clinical work supports sleep hygiene and non-opioid pain management.
Many OUD clients see improvement in depression and anxiety once MAT stabilization allows mood regulation to recover. PHQ-9 and GAD-7 track trajectory.
Coping plans, urge surfing, refusal skills, and overdose-prevention planning (Narcan access, never-use-alone strategies, fentanyl-supply awareness) are built in group and reinforced individually.
Family therapy and the family support group address relational patterns OUD shapes over years. Specialty groups expose clients to NA, MAT-friendly meetings, and SMART Recovery.
Needing more opioid for the same effect, or switching from pills to heroin or fentanyl. Health Risk: signals neuroadaptation that drives escalating use and overdose risk.
Yawning, sweating, anxiety, GI symptoms, restless legs, body aches, and dilated pupils that resolve with re-dosing. Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening but is extremely painful; medical detox provides comfort medications and a pharmacological transition onto buprenorphine.
Repeated promises to stop followed by the same pattern. Structured MAT typically succeeds where willpower alone has not.
Seeking opioids from multiple providers, ER visits for pain medication, or finishing a 30-day script in days.
Medical Emergency: with fentanyl in the supply, route escalation carries catastrophic overdose risk; Narcan access is essential.
Missed work, neglected family obligations, declining performance.
Overdoses, legal trouble, or relationship loss that does not produce sustained change.
Irritability, depression, or anxiety, especially as the next dose approaches.
Partial Care (PHP). Full clinical day, Mon to Sat, 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, six-day clinical week. Concentrates dual-diagnosis groups, trauma-informed processing, relapse prevention, and CBT/DBT modules, with MAT woven through the week. For severe OUD or step-down from coordinated detox. Approximately 30 days. See Partial Care.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP). Three or five days per week, three clinical hours per session, in morning or evening blocks. Moderate-severity OUD or step-down from Partial Care. MAT continues on-site. See IOP.
Outpatient (OP). Individual therapy, continuing-care groups, and ongoing MAT management. Sublocade visits fit naturally into OP. See OP.
Virtual treatment. IOP or OP intensity delivered remotely for NJ residents who meet clinical criteria, preserving MAT continuity.
Coordinated medical detox. For clients in active opioid withdrawal, the team coordinates placement at accredited partner facilities, where buprenorphine induction often begins. Partial Care intake is scheduled before partner discharge. See coordinated medical detox.
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 ModalitiesIntake battery, medical provider consult within ~48 hours, MAT induction onto Suboxone or transition to Sublocade, safety planning, Narcan education. Detox coordination if needed.
CBT trigger work, DBT skill modules, relapse and overdose-prevention plan drafting, family programming. Specialty groups expose clients to recovery community options.
Skills applied between sessions, family work continued, employment and legal coordination via case management. Sublocade often introduced for clients stable on sublingual buprenorphine.
Step-down to OP based on clinical progress. MAT continues. Primary therapist remains in place. Alumni programming begins.
(888) 464-2144 connects you with a counselor for a confidential clinical conversation.
The team verifies benefits in real time so the cost picture is clear before commitment.
A licensed clinician conducts the assessment by phone, video, or in person. The battery includes ASAM, LOCUS, PHQ-9, GAD-7, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, and biopsychosocial. Typically 30 to 60 minutes.
For detox-first clients, partner placement is coordinated, buprenorphine induction is sequenced, and Partial Care intake is scheduled before discharge.
Day one opens with check-in and a brief facility orientation. The medical provider consult is scheduled within ~48 hours, sooner when MAT continuity is in play. The assessment is completed, the treatment plan is drafted with the primary therapist, and safety and overdose-prevention planning is completed before the client leaves. New clients integrate into the group schedule from day one.
What if they refuse to go to treatment? Continue your own family programming. Maintain boundaries you can enforce. Keep Narcan on hand. Crisis numbers: 988, SAMHSA 1-800-662-HELP, 911.
Daily opioid use they cannot stop, withdrawal between doses (yawning, sweating, restless legs, GI distress), pinpoint or dilated pupils, missing prescriptions, switching to injection or smoking, hidden paraphernalia, broken promises to cut back, declining work performance.
Choose a sober, quiet moment. Use "I" statements. Be specific about behaviors, not character. Stay calm. Have resource information ready.
Fentanyl contamination in the opioid supply makes overdose risk catastrophic. Free Narcan (naloxone) is available at most New Jersey pharmacies and through community distribution. Family programming at Archangel includes Narcan training. Save: 911 for medical emergencies, 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, SAMHSA helpline 1-800-662-HELP for confidential treatment referrals.

“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.
