A 60-second walkthrough of the Tinton Falls clinic, the space where the program actually runs.
Polysubstance addiction treatment at The Archangel Centers in Tinton Falls treats adults with polysubstance use disorder, often alongside co-occurring depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or other mental health conditions. The full outpatient continuum is delivered on-site, serving clients across Monmouth County and the Jersey Shore.
The phrase "alcohol use disorder" or "opioid use disorder" suggests a clean clinical picture: one substance, one diagnosis, one treatment plan. The reality at the door of most treatment programs is messier. Most people arriving for help are using more than one substance, often deliberately, often in patterns that interact in important clinical ways.
Polysubstance use breaks into a few common patterns: opioids and benzodiazepines (a leading cause of overdose death), stimulants and opioids (the "speedball" pattern, now driving rising mortality), alcohol with anything (alcohol amplifies the depressant effect of opioids and benzodiazepines), and cocaine plus alcohol (which produces cocaethylene, a toxic metabolite).
Treatment at The Archangel Centers maps every substance in use during the clinical assessment, identifies the high-risk combinations, and builds a treatment plan that addresses each substance with the right approach. MAT for opioids, taper for benzodiazepines, behavioral for stimulants, running in parallel, not sequentially.
The Tinton Falls clinic operates under New Jersey DMHAS state licensure for outpatient SUD and co-occurring mental health programming. Clinical work follows the ASAM framework. Clinical leadership is held by Jamie Salsberg, Clinical Director. We do not assert accreditations the clinic does not hold.
Our New Jersey program runs a six-day Partial Care clinical week, which compresses the high-risk weekend gap that drives so many early relapses. Single-call admissions cover clinical assessment, insurance verification, and clinical review with a scheduled start date. Same-week placement is often possible.
The Tinton Falls clinic at 44 Apple Street, Suite 3 sits ten minutes south of Red Bank, off Route 35. The team works with a manageable caseload so the assigned primary therapist holds the longitudinal view across the continuum.
For polysubstance use disorder specifically, the program leans on three things. First, the speed of the admissions process, a 24/7 line, single-call assessment, and same-week placement when clinically indicated. Second, the integration of medication management with the behavioral work; the on-site medical provider sees new clients within approximately 48 hours and stays connected to the clinical team throughout. Third, Evidence-based therapies running in parallel across substances. CBT trigger maps are built separately for each substance; DBT skills cut across the picture; relapse prevention recognizes the higher complexity of multi-substance recovery. Medication management addresses each class with the appropriate strategy.
The Archangel Centers was founded by Mike Sorrentino, a recovery advocate with more than a decade in active recovery, with co-founder Lauren Sorrentino. The clinical and medical leadership team includes licensed NJ clinicians, the on-site medical provider, and case management, small enough that each client knows their primary therapist by name.

Polysubstance withdrawal is more dangerous than any single-substance withdrawal because the substances interact. Alcohol and benzodiazepine combinations produce withdrawal that can include seizures and delirium. Opioid withdrawal layered on benzodiazepine withdrawal produces sharper symptoms than either alone. The clinical assessment identifies every substance and the appropriate detox or taper protocol, almost always with coordinated medical management at an accredited partner facility before outpatient placement.
Coordinated medical detox is often required before outpatient placement; the clinical assessment makes the call.
Coordinated medical detox is often the first step for polysubstance use disorder, depending on the severity of withdrawal and the use history. Detox is conducted at an accredited partner facility; clients step directly into Partial Care after detox stability. See coordinated medical detox at Tinton Falls.
Multi-class approach: Each substance gets the appropriate strategy. Opioid component: Suboxone-based MAT. Benzodiazepine component: coordinated medical taper at partner facility. Alcohol component: naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram. Stimulant component: behavioral plus medication for co-occurring conditions. The plans run together, not sequentially.
Trigger-map per substance: CBT trigger maps are built separately for each substance, different cues, different settings, different relapse risks. A client recovering from opioids and cocaine has two craving systems to map and manage.
Harm reduction across substances: Naloxone for every household with opioid use. Fentanyl test strips where legal. Recognition that polysubstance combinations carry overdose risk far above the sum of the parts.
Substance use disorder is a clinical diagnosis with specific criteria. If several of the following describe the current pattern, a clinical assessment at our Tinton Falls clinic is the right next step.
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 ModalitiesThe full outpatient continuum is delivered on-site. The clinical assessment matches each client to the appropriate starting level based on severity, withdrawal status, work and family responsibilities, and history of prior treatment.
| Level | Schedule | Typical length | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partial Care (PHP) | 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Saturday (six-day clinical week) | Approximately 30 days, clinically driven | Partial Care at Tinton Falls |
| Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | 3 or 5 days a week, 3 clinical hours per session | Approximately 30 to 60 days, clinically driven | IOP at Tinton Falls |
| Outpatient (OP) | Flexible, individual therapy + periodic continuing-care groups | Open-ended continuing care | OP at Tinton Falls |
| Virtual Treatment | Remote delivery, available to NJ residents | Matches IOP or OP intensity | (Routed through admissions) |
The arc varies by client, but the following stages are typical for polysubstance use disorder clients moving through the Archangel Centers continuum.
Every substance is mapped, class, frequency, dose, route, last use, withdrawal history. The clinical assessment identifies high-risk combinations and the appropriate detox protocol.
Polysubstance withdrawal is dangerous; coordinated medical detox at an accredited partner facility is the standard. Multi-substance taper protocols are calibrated to the specific combination.
Suboxone for the opioid component, ongoing benzodiazepine taper if relevant, AUD medication if alcohol is part of the picture, behavioral work for stimulants. Each track runs in parallel within the treatment plan.
CBT trigger maps built for each substance separately. DBT skills. Relapse-prevention planning that recognizes the higher complexity of multi-substance recovery.
MAT continuation, ongoing psychiatric care, alumni programming. Polysubstance clients often need more sustained continuing-care contact than single-substance clients.

“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.
