About AToN Center
AToN Center has 5 houses, taking up 10 acres of San Diego beauty. They house a maximum of 6 clients per house, keeping their staff-to-client ratios low all across campus. AToN uses a variety of approaches to combat addiction and co-occurring disorders. While they offer 12-Step approaches, AToN also recognizes the desire some may have to take a different approach, like SMART recovery. Adding to this diversity, AToN provides ample holistic therapies, like exercise, acupuncture, massage, yoga, and much more. With a minimum stay of 30 days, clients’ stays will be spent in total recovery and healing, taking applicable and individual approaches to addiction treatment.
AToN is proud to offer some of the best clinical and psychological treatment available, with highly skilled and qualified clinicians, therapists, and support staff in each sector of treatment. Residents are professionally cared for and supported each step of the way, from detox to aftercare. AToN’s San Diego location provides sunny weather and opportunities for fun activities off-site, like hiking and beach swims. Being on 10 acres, AToN is private and peaceful, with gorgeous foliage and relaxing amenities available on-site.
AToN has multiple treatment paths, any of which can diverge to clients’ specific needs. They use 12-Step and non-12-Step modalities, holistic methods, trauma-informed, and evidence-based methods to treat and support all the aspects of recovery. AToN provides at least 4 hours of therapy per day, with 3 hours of group and 1 hour of individual therapy. Weekly family therapy is also included and heavily encouraged. Exposure therapy takes residents outside AToN’s center, and their holistic mentors come to campus to provide unique healing tracts. AToN prioritizes having a treatment structure that’s loose and non-constrictive, allowing for changes and accommodations based on clinical input and client preferences. While some structure is important, they believe applicable treatment that stems from clinical knowledge and client needs is best.
Residents will enjoy AToN’s pool, hot tub, gym, and tennis court, plus their variety of gardens and outdoor seating. AToN is a tech-friendly treatment center, providing that phones or laptops don’t interfere with treatment. Professional chefs cook up delicious meals and ensure that nutrition is top-notch. Small sizes and limited housing keeps treatment intimate all throughout campus, allowing for treatment and care that’s truly personal, starting with AToN’s in-depth admission assessments.

What Makes AToN Center Different

As someone who works with clients struggling with trauma histories, chronic relapse and failed treatments, I look for programs that excel in clinical approach and offer much more than the standard rehab. AToN has a premier clinical staff, who possess the vital additional ingredient of genuineness, and a true commitment to their client’s recovery. I highly recommend this program.
