Choosing AToN Drug Rehab was the best decision I made. I learned about my depression and my addiction. I needed this – my family needed this. I hope I never have to send someone to a rehab but is I do – this is the only place I would send them.

FAQ About Our Treatment Programs

At AToN Center, we are proud to offer only the highest quality inpatient services for substance use disorder (also commonly known as substance abuse or addiction). This means we offer full on-site detox services and residential treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.

Though we currently do not offer outpatient services, our team is more than happy to help residents and their families locate and transition into step-down programs that are either local to San Diego or where you’re coming from.

AToN Center focuses our treatment programs on people and families struggling with substance use disorder primarily. That said, we know that often times there is a mental health issue present in cases of substance use disorder.

That is why we offer our dual diagnosis (otherwise known as co-occurring disorder) treatment program. This program allows us to utilize our Eastern and Western treatment practices to help residents overcome overlapping cases of substance use disorder and mental health disorders.

While we believe AToN Center to truly be the best treatment center for substance use disorder in San Diego, we cannot guarantee that there is always space at our residencies, nor do we offer all levels of treatment.

Our team will try their absolute best to make sure that you or your loved one have every opportunity to join our community. If for whatever reason, AToN Center doesn’t end up being your best option, our expert team will work with you to determine what your best options are moving forward with treatment.

Aside from the spacious, remote community that AToN Center offers, San Diego is known for its laid-back, friendly culture, which creates a welcoming environment for people in recovery. This can help residents feel more comfortable and supported as they work to overcome their substance use disorder.

San Diego is also home to many beautiful parks, beaches, and other outdoor spaces, which can provide a healthy and enjoyable outlet for people in recovery. Outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, and yoga can also help to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
