A 60-second walkthrough of the Tinton Falls clinic, the space where the program actually runs.
Outpatient (OP) is the lightest-touch level of formal addiction treatment. Clients meet with a primary therapist for individual sessions, may attend periodic groups, and (where applicable) continue medication-assisted treatment with the medical provider. OP is the level most clients spend the longest time at, both as a starting level for mild presentations and as the long-running maintenance phase after stepping down from higher intensity.
For the educational page on OP as a level of care, see what is outpatient. For the specific clinic OPs, see OP at Tinton Falls and OP at Charlotte.
In ASAM Criteria, OP is Level 1: less than 9 clinical hours per week, in a clinic or virtual setting. Components:
OP at both our Tinton Falls and Charlotte clinics is built around three anchors:
1. Individual therapy with an assigned primary therapist. Frequency typically starts at weekly and tapers as clinically appropriate. 2. Periodic groups. Continuing-care groups, alumni-style peer support, family dynamics, mental health modules. 3. Medical and MAT management. Medical provider visits at intervals appropriate to the medication and clinical stability.
There is no single rigid schedule. OP is built around the treatment plan.
Group rooms, private therapy offices, the medical office, family programming rooms, and the wellness space, designed for clinical depth and nervous-system regulation.
The same evidence-based toolkit, calibrated to lower intensity:
The most common pattern: detox → PHP → IOP → OP → alumni. OP is the longest-running level, often for months or years. Step-up to IOP or PHP for defined periods during high-risk windows is common and clinically appropriate.
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 ModalitiesThere is no fixed length. OP often continues for months to years, with frequency tapering. Some clients remain in OP indefinitely as a maintenance level, particularly clients on MAT.
Many OP clients overlap with the Archangel alumni community. Alumni programming includes periodic events, peer support, and family alumni engagement.
Virtual OP at The Archangel Centers is currently structured for New Jersey residents who meet clinical criteria. NC clients receive OP in person at the Charlotte 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.
