AToN is a peaceful, private retreat in sunny California, designed to help residents break free from struggles with substances and co-occurring mental health conditions. This center offers a luxurious escape with beautiful estates, each housing only 6 people, so residents get lots of personal attention. The detox and residential programs combine proven therapies with relaxing, holistic therapies to help residents feel better in mind and body.

Feel Unwavering Support

At AToN Center, they understand that one size does not fit all, so they offer a mix of therapies designed to help residents find their way back to themselves. The 3:1 staff to resident ratio creates a close-knit environment where residents feel seen, heard, and fully supported by the team. However, at AToN, it’s not just about therapy—it’s about feeling good inside and out. Residents get to experience relaxing massages, calming yoga, and creative art classes designed to nourish mind, body, and spirit.

Heal without Sacrificing Comfort

At AToN Center, residents find themselves in a lush haven where each room in the estate offers a place for peace and reflection. The gardens outside, a pool, and a soothing jacuzzi all contribute to the resort-like feel of this center. While the surroundings certainly help impact the experience, the team at AToN helps clients truly feel cared for while in treatment. The on-site chefs can cater to any dietary need, making sitting down for a meal enjoyable and stress-free. The team has cultivated a relaxed, supportive experience, where residents can connect with others but have plenty of personal space as they embark on their recovery.

Stay on Track after Treatment

Leaving treatment doesn’t mean leaving support. AToN’s aftercare is like having a reliable GPS for the new life ahead. Regular check-ins help residents navigate any bumps in the road and cheer them on. Residents can also plug into a supportive community of people who get it. Plus, they throw alumni events, bringing everyone together to reinforce the sense of belonging.

Testimonial
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.

Find the Right Fit: Multiple Recovery Options
Find the Right Fit: Multiple Recovery Options
Recovery is a deeply personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. They offer a diverse range of meetings, with both 12-step and non-12-step options. Some prefer a 12-step program, which involves following a set of steps to overcome addiction. Others prefer non-12-step, which focus on self-empowerment and use science-based strategies to overcome addiction. Clients gain opportunities to discover which approach feels most comfortable and effective for them.
Balance Treatment and Real-Life Responsibilities
Balance Treatment and Real-Life Responsibilities
Maintaining connections with loved ones and managing important aspects of life is crucial for many people, even during treatment. AToN offers a balanced approach to technology use, allowing residents to maintain a sense of normalcy. Phones are often incorporated into therapy, allowing access to helpful apps, resources, and websites. They make sure that cell phone usage complements the therapy and doesn’t become a distraction.

Aton is amazing. I would not be sober for a year and a half if it wasn’t for their treatment center. The food was outstanding. The staff was incredible. The counselors really cared about what they were doing. They were doing. They were down to earth and explained things in a way you could understand. The treatments were wonderful. The accommodations were awesome. I’d like that it was not a 12 step program and that’s why I went there. I am now a member of the Aaa I’m very involved in the program. Aton gave me great tools to use to stay sober.

My experience with AToN was remarkable. I finally got sober with the help from AToN. My life changed for the better the day I chose to walk through those doors. It takes a lot of moving parts to get clean and sober; AToN was an integral role in providing me a safe, healthy, and inspiring atmosphere to help me find the best version of myself.

Review from Rehabs.com

After years of putting off rehab, and making excuses for why I couldn’t go, I finally decided to invest the time in making my life better. Selecting Aton was the best decision I made. The facilities are world class, as is the staff. This was the first time in my 25 year career that I took more than 5 days off of work, and it gave me a brand new perspective. I took 30 days to focus on myself, my struggles, and my wellbeing - I would have stayed longer if I could have. The curriculum is straight forward but powerful, and applicable to all life events, even the mundane. The schedule is flexible enough that I was able to stay current on business matters, and the holistic program offered me the opportunity to try things I’d never done before (eg acupuncture, yoga, painting) and those that I wish I did more often (eg massage, physical therapy). And the food... it’s like dining at nice restaurant three times a day. I recommend Aaron for anyone struggling with substance issues who is willing to fully immerse themselves and who appreciates the value of a top-notch facility rooted compassion and self-betterment. -Andrew

Daily individual sessions Monday thru Friday with licensed Psychologist and CD counselors. Simply an amazing clinical program!Lots of holistics to choose from. Yoga deck is fantastic, massage and acupuncture, certainly try the Watsu at house 2 - an amazing experience. Must be highly motivated for help or at least willing to take in everything AToN has to offer.
