About AToN Center
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.
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.
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.
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.

For those who are stuck in a cycle they can’t break, AToN doesn’t just focus on fixing the problem—they help residents rebuild themselves. Residents can get back into nature by hiking through beautiful trails and breathing in fresh air. Yoga and meditation help quiet the mind and find that peaceful place inside. They encourage exercise and offer healthy foods because they know it’s good for mind and body. They help residents learn how to take care of themselves and build a life they love.
Each day at AToN is carefully designed to support true healing. An average day begins with mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga, followed by a nutritious breakfast. Residents then begin personalized therapy sessions, both individually and in groups. Art therapy and outdoor adventures help nurture creativity and emotional well-being while practical workshops equip residents with coping skills. In the evenings, clients attend support meetings to reinforce what they learned.
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.
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.
