About AToN Center
In Encinitas, California, AToN Center is a residential treatment center for adults 18 and over. Residents are accepted from across the United States.
Outpatient services aren’t offered at this location, and the team helps residents move into step down programs elsewhere. Medical detox is on site.
EMDR and Therapy at AToN
AToN offers EMDR (a therapy that works on distressing memories through guided eye movements). It typically starts between day 10 and day 14.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the treatments used, and it isn’t a 12 step model. The clinician to resident ratio is 1:2 and in a day of treatment a clinician is responsible for you and one other resident.
Living on the Encinitas Campus
AToN keeps five homes across eight secluded acres in Encinitas, and chefs on the campus can meet dietary needs.
You sleep and eat on site, so the treatment day doesn’t start with a commute. Once treatment ends, an aftercare program is there to support you.
Blue Cross Blue Shield and Anthem are in network at the center, and it works with most PPO plans. It doesn’t accept Medicaid, Medicare or Medi-Cal.
