About

About AToN Center

AToN Center sits on a private estate in Encinitas, California, and operates as a small-census luxury rehab focused on adults 18 and older who are seeking sustainable recovery from alcohol, opioid, sedative, or stimulant use disorders. Founded by Jim and Patricia Brady as both a memorial and a sanctuary, the program is intentionally designed around individualized treatment rather than a fixed curriculum, with on-site chefs, tropical grounds, and well-appointed rooms that support the longer-stay residential model.

Clinically, AToN offers two core levels of care: medically assisted detox supervised by physicians and round-the-clock nursing, followed by residential treatment. Residents receive five individual therapy sessions per week with members of the clinical team, addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, and other underlying mental health concerns alongside substance use. The program is explicitly non-12-step by default, drawing on Refuge Recovery, Buddhist-inspired mindfulness, SMART-style approaches, and traditional 12-step pathways depending on client preference.

Holistic care is a defining feature: residents receive three individual holistic sessions weekly, with options including massage, acupuncture, yoga, and personal training, alongside group offerings such as sound bowl healing, breathwork, guided meditation, hiking, boot camp, and painting classes. EMDR is available for trauma work, and private 90-minute family therapy sessions replace the more typical large-group family weekend format.

The clinical team is led by Medical Director Dr. Christian Small, Program Director Dr. Leslie Sanders, and Clinical Director Dr. Kevin Murphy, supported by Psychologists Dr. Rachel Conway and Dr. Monica Vejar and an admissions team including Gregory Liggett and Lauren Mann (CADC). AToN is accredited by The Joint Commission and works with Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, UMR, Multiplan, and UnitedHealthcare; self-pay arrangements are also accepted.
