“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.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is structured group and individual therapy delivered three or five days a week, three clinical hours per session. IOP is the middle of the outpatient continuum: more clinically intense than standard outpatient, less time-intensive than the full clinical day of PHP, and the right level of care for many people stepping down from higher intensity or initiating treatment with moderate-severity presentations. This page covers IOP at The Archangel Centers across our two clinics.
For the educational page on IOP as a level of care, see what is IOP. For the specific clinic IOPs, see IOP at Tinton Falls and IOP at Charlotte.
In the ASAM Criteria framework, IOP is Level 2.1. Defined by:
Both clinics deliver IOP in two tracks:
Each client is assigned a primary therapist and has weekly individual therapy alongside the group block. Group content covers CBT and DBT skill modules, dual diagnosis, relapse prevention, trauma-informed processing, and 12-step facilitation alongside non-12-step alternatives.
See IOP at Tinton Falls and IOP at Charlotte for the specific clinic detail.
| Track | Frequency | Hours per session | Total per week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-day IOP | 3 days per week | 3 hours | 9 |
| 5-day IOP | 5 days per week | 3 hours | 15 |
Group rooms, private therapy offices, the medical office, family programming rooms, and the wellness space, designed for clinical depth and nervous-system regulation.
The toolkit applied to IOP includes:
IOP is the level of care most compatible with continued work. Morning or evening blocks make most schedules workable. FMLA leave is available if needed; for many IOP clients, it is not.
Treatment integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care 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 ModalitiesMAT continues during IOP, and IOP is a common level at which MAT is initiated for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The medical provider manages medication; therapy continues in parallel. The MAT formulary is Suboxone (primary), Sublocade, Vivitrol; methadone is not in our formulary.
Most commercial insurance plans cover IOP at in-network rates when medical necessity is documented. The clinical team manages prior authorization with the carrier.
Typically about 30 days, clinically driven. Step-down to OP usually follows as symptoms stabilize.
Virtual IOP at The Archangel Centers is currently structured for New Jersey residents who meet clinical criteria. Charlotte-area clients receive IOP in person at the clinic.
“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 trauma-informed care 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.
