Poseidon Method and Vivitrol program have been a game-changer. Its my first month back in the United States and I have to say that the Vivitrol Injections provides me ZERO cravings to drink. Normally when I would return home after a program in the US I would always relapse. My alcoholism was classified as “Chrono Relapse” which is why I chose to travel to Greece. Of course I could have received Vivitrol in America but the tranquil beauty of Mykonos, the infinity pool, and the luxurious island yacht trips created the perfect setting for my recovery. Its why I chose to go. The team is still following up with me. Case Management is based in America so they were able to arrange my follow-up near my home. All in all I am very satisfied with the program. Looking forward to the long lasting results.

I can just say WOW. Words cant describe the care Poseidon and their staff do in Greece. I chose the full Mykonos experience and I was nervous because it was my first time leaving the USA in my life. Greece is so safe and the team is American so its the only reason I chose them. I was detoxing hard from cocaine and I couldn't go to the island right away so they have a whole system in place for severe cases. You land in Athens and they have a luxury villa 15 minutes from the airport that is a full blown detox house with amazing food and nurses and doctors and you just know you're in good hands the moment they pick you up. You even get an iPhone which has a Greek sim and the recovery progress app & Whatsapp connected to all the staff so you can message your therapist or driver anytime. That was amazing no place ever gave an iPhone, normally they take our phones AWAY!!!! I was treated like a real person. After 3 days I was clear to fly into Mykonos & the flight was about 30 minutes. One sober companion accompanies you on the plane ride. It is quick and then your picked up in mykonos. Driven to the villa and upon arrival they just had all the staff and chef prepare the welcome snacks/juices. It was hot so I asked if I could do a GLOW/HYDRATE IV which I do at home but they have them onsite which really helped my skin. All the psychologists and psychiatrists visit you at the villa, island tour, gym with driver all their cars are BMW/Benz. Amazing care & I am still sober today!!!!!!

The last 10 days here have for me been a life changing experience. ALL of the staff from bottom to top have been utterly caring and beyond professional. Poseidon Method is a Safe, secure, caring and a happy place. It's thoroughly structured. Great facilities in Mykonos. Villas have been converted for treatment programs but still complete with all the luxury amenities you will need. If you are looking to help yourself a friend or family member, you need look no further than Poseidon Method.

There's something special about Poseidon that really can't be described in words. It's the feeling I got right off the airplane when the driver picked me up. A sense of safety, a sense of hope. I've had my eating disorder more than half of my life. I have battled with Cocaine, Xanax and alcohol over the years as well. I've been labeled chronic, told I was never going to get better, and given up on by so many treatment centers and professionals. The Poseidon Method didn't give up on me. They understand that an eating disorder is a serious disease and are able to separate the disease from the person. Getting to keep your same treatment team in both detox and the main villa is extremely helpful and gives you the time to build trust and delve into necessary and meaningful work. The island is small in general and Ornos Village is even smaller but once you spend a week or so after detox going around the villa strip and down to the bakery you become instant friends with everyone. There's something different about Poseidon. I truly believe miracles are made here. I couldn't be more grateful to this place.

Alcohol
This new year 2024, I was unable to stop drinking. I was at my rock bottom. I was dangerously ill. I was so far away from other people, including my family, my husband, my child, I thought there was no way to get back to them again. I was dying. When friends connected me with Minoa and Bruno at Poseidon, it felt like magic, that light held up for me. When I made it to Mykonos, the only thing I had was an idea that I might be willing, that I might want to stop drinking. I learned about and started to allow my body to detox in the beautiful island villa, with all my needs cared for. I had chances to stretch, to rest, to eat delicious Greek food, to allow my body to begin to recover. That combination of place and people at Poseidon Method changed my molecules and my life. All the voices around me, the loving staff, the sober coaches who struggled like me in the past, those who donated their time, showed me it was possible to recover from alcoholism. The weirdest part of recovery is discovering that true freedom is not just separation from your substance of choice. The real liberation comes from getting outside of myself, when I am helping others find relief and freedom. Getting sober at The Poseidon Method helped me learn to be a person, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a wife, and to participate in a beautiful life, full of other people. You don't have to keep doing the things that hurt you and the people you love. You don't have to be alone. There is help.
