Types of
Medical Detoxes
We Offer
-
Alcohol Detox
-
At our facility, detoxing from alcohol is traditionally treated with a benzodiazepine taper such as Librium or Valium as well as “comfort medications” that include medications as needed for sleep, nausea/vomiting, and anxiety. The detoxification time frame is dependent upon factors such as other substances of use, length of use, quantity, frequency, and prior detox symptom information.
-
Benzodiazepine Detox
-
Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs used to treat anxiety and some seizure disorders. Some examples of medications that contain benzodiazepines include, Ativan, Valium, Klonopin, Xanax, and Ambien. Detoxification is traditionally treated with benzodiazepines, either by titrating down on the drug of abuse, or by a Valium taper as well as “comfort medications” that include non-addictive medications as needed for sleep, nausea/vomiting, and anxiety.
-
Opiate Detox
-
Opioids and opiates are a class of drugs with pain-reducing (analgesic) properties. Examples of opioids include Vicodin, Suboxone, Percocet, Oxycodone, Oxycontin, fetanyl, and heroin. Opioid withdrawal may be addressed with Suboxone (which is a partial opioid agonist with naloxone). Additionally, other non-addictive “comfort meds” for sleep, nausea/vomiting, and anxiety may be used. Because of the highly uncomfortable state of detoxification symptoms, many people with chemical dependency are unable to detoxify without being supervised and in a 24-hour setting where they are made comfortable and have no access to opiates.

Our Approach to
Addiction Treatment
AToN Center aims to make your path to recovery calm, relaxing, and luxurious above all. We take pride in having a facility that heals our residents as much as the treatment we provide. At AToN Center, you can expect to partake in the following programs as part of your journey to recovery:
1-on-1 time speaking to someone who can help guide you through all the mental hurdles, past trauma, and coping skills needed can be a great benefit when you’re recovering from substance abuse disorder. We make sure each of our residents has the ability to engage in discreet and empowering sessions with our professional, on-site therapists.
At AToN Center, we seek to employ evidence-based therapies to help our residents become empowered and gain all the skills they’ll need to start and continue on their recovery journey. CBT will seek to draw attention to a resident’s core beliefs, helping them evaluate the best way forward.
DBT is all about two fundamental factors: acceptance and change. Our DBT program seeks to reveal to a resident the forces behind their substance abuse problem and empower them to find new ways ahead.
Healing isn’t just about overcoming the past. It’s about growing your body, mind, and spirit. That’s why we offer a combination of traditional evidence-based therapies with holistic healing practices, such as yoga, guided meditation, and mindfulness therapy.
When you are getting ready to leave AToN Center, we’re going to make sure you’re as ready as you need to be for the journey ahead. We’ll help you plan your next steps and even make sure you can find effective outpatient treatment in your area.
See What Others Say About AToN Center
I am so happy that Aton took my insurance. I was so lucky to have been able to recover in such a beautiful and caring environment. I didn't even know rehab could be like this. I feared going to rehab thinking it was going to be like staying at a hospital. Not only did I get the help that I needed, but I was comfortable even when I was uncomfortable.

This place is incredible. The staff, food, and treatment are all number one. I would recommend them to anyone seeking top notch addiction treatment. Very professional and they took my time there during COVID very seriously. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to get treatment during this time, but I would recommend anyone looking for treatment to go here.

What an amazing place. The food was like nothing I have ever had outside of a high-end restaurant. The Staff was amazing and the whole environment was designed for healing. Absolutely amazing.

Most rehabs are not good - I should know I have been in many - I know Aton is a drug rehab but it did not feel like one. I own a business and leaving work is always hard - I flew in from the East Coast and from the time I was picked up - I knew this was going to be the right place. I appreciated that they worked with me and as a result, I have been sober over one year. This may not be a big deal to some but for me it is a miracle. No matter the obstacle they will help you overcome it.

From the moment that I checked into your facility, I have remained sober! I felt comfortable with the staff and all the amazing therapy offered. I was happy about the holistic options as well as the delicious and nutritious food offered. I don't give reviews but this one is important - just remember if you are reading this - there is help. Aton is a great place and I think will they can help anyone struggling. People get better.

The staff and facility at AToN is truly top notch! The individual therapy and groups made the experience memorable and I feel like I am a different person because of them! The relaxing therapies as well as the other amenities like acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and OMG the massages - I would recommend AToN to anyone needing help and ready to quit. Truly quality treatment.

I highly recommend Aton center for anyone seeking treatment, my 30 day experience at Aton far exceeded my expectations, the facilities, food and amenities are 1st class. The entire staff at Aton truly cares about helping their patients. The nurses, doctors, counselors and staff were simply amazing . Aton's holistic approach to treatment and curriculum was a eye opening experiencing to how wonderful life in recovery can be. My family and I are very thankful for my experience, the Aton Center helped save my life.

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.
