About The Poseidon Method
The Poseidon Method’s treatment approach helps rebuild confidence in individuals who have become physically dependent on substances like drugs and alcohol. Blending evidence-based, medical, and holistic methods, The Poseidon Method tailors a treatment plan for each unique client.

Their medically assisted detox guarantees the first step to be as painless and comfortable as possible. Alternative options like cryotherapy offer more options for discomfort management, plus medical options like VIVITROL. After detox, clients seamlessly transition to The Poseidon Palace to receive residential treatment. Their program includes equine-assisted therapy, non-12-Step support meetings, luxurious accommodations, a pool, chef-prepared meals and immersion into Greek culture.
