Sober Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino planning 'interventions' with addicts
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino wants to pay it forward.
The sober "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" star, 42, tells Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea" podcast that he is planning "door-to-door interventions" with those suffering in the throes of substance abuse.
"We're going to start to go door to door, OK? We're going to be doing interventions and we're going to be course-correcting addicts' lives away from active addiction and into recovery," says Sorrentino, who is opening his own addiction and mental health treatment centers in the near future.
"It's getting serious," he adds. "I'm getting on the frontlines."
The "Reality Check" author announced on Sept. 16 that he and wife Lauren Sorrentino co-founded Archangel Centers.
"Against all odds, I turned my life around," he wrote in part via social media.
"Today, I'm happily married with three amazing kids, a published author, nine years sober, and about to launch my own treatment centers: What once seemed impossible is now my reality."

Mike — who previously admitted to spending nearly $500,000 on cocaine and oxycodone during the height of his addiction — shared that the first Archangel Center will open in New Jersey in early 2025 with the help of Ascend Behavioral Health Network.
"My experience, strength, and hope will help addicts find recovery, one day at a time," he concluded his post. "This journey is personal. I am Saint Michael the Archangel, and this comeback? It's just getting started."
Speaking with "Virtual Reali-Tea," Mike teases that an Archangel Centers-focused TV project is probable.
"If you deserve it, the universe is going to serve it! I'm not going to say there's a show," he says. "But I'm going to say there might be something in the works."
Until then, the father of three — who shares Romeo, 3, Mia, 19 months, and Luna 6 months, with Lauren, 39 — is thrilled to commemorate this new chapter in his career by getting his first-ever tattoo.
"I have no tattoos and I always told myself that if I was to get a tattoo, it has to be really meaningful. And I'm here to tell you I'm about to get that tattoo," he says.
"It goes with he rebrand and the launch of my treatment centers. It will be Saint Michael the Archangel on my shoulder and I will have that within the coming months."
"Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
