Find Freedom – Without AA, Rehab, or Pressure to Quit Drinking
A flexible, at-home program designed to meet you where you are – on your own terms
53% of Thrive members noticed a reduction in their drinking within the first week on the treatment
How It Works
If you’ve tried AA, felt pressured to quit entirely, or just want a modern, science-backed approach – you’re in the right place. Thrive’s method is rooted in neuroscience and behavior change to help you build a healthier relationship with alcohol. Here’s how the program works:
-
Target the Brain with Naltrexone
At the core of this method is naltrexone – a medication with over 30 years of research. It helps reduce cravings and weakens alcohol’s grip on the brain. -
Change Habits and Patterns
Using our step-by-step tools, you’ll begin to shift the routines, thought patterns, and triggers that have kept you stuck in the drinking cycle. -
Move at Your Own Pace
There’s no pressure to quit cold turkey. This method allows you to reduce or eliminate drinking on your terms, with support every step of the way.

Why Our Research-Backed Approach Works
Our method targets alcohol use disorder at its root—in the brain. Backed by over 30 years of research, this approach combines the medication naltrexone with behavior change to support long-term success.
Endorphin Blocking
Naltrexone blocks the release of endorphins—the brain’s feel-good chemicals triggered by alcohol. These are the same chemicals that reinforce the addictive “high” of drinking.
Interrupting the Cycle
Taking naltrexone before drinking weakens alcohol’s rewarding effects. This helps reduce cravings, curb binge drinking, and gradually make alcohol feel less appealing.
Rewiring the Brain
When combined with behavior change, naltrexone helps the brain “unlearn” its attachment to alcohol, leading to lasting habit change and greater control.

How Our Founder Quit Drinking Without AA
Thrive was created by someone who personally struggled with alcohol for nearly a decade. Like many, she tried traditional programs but found that AA didn’t align with her needs or beliefs. Instead, she discovered a science-based approach that allowed her to change her relationship with alcohol — without labels, meetings, or pressure to quit cold turkey.
