The Alcohol Freedom program is $997 and comes with lifetime access.  You can also choose the payment plan of $97 per month for 12 months – this also includes lifetime access. To learn more about what's included in the program, visit here.

At Thrive, we've partnered with telemedicine doctors around the country to provide you with private, accessible and affordable access to the medication naltrexone. Click here to see more information about the cost of naltrexone when you enroll with Thrive.

At Thrive we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. That means if you join the program and decide that it's not for you in the first 7 days, we will simply cancel your membership and refund all of your money. After that period we may cancel your program membership and refund a prorated balance should you be unable to take or tolerate naltrexone – and we'll simply request a letter from your prescribing physician stating why you were unable to take naltrexone. Only about 10% of people cannot tolerate naltrexone, and the physicians we partner with are experts in using this medication, and can adjust your dosage or make other suggestions to minimize any side effects if they do occur.

Our program is not covered by insurance, but it may be reimbursed by your HSA, HRA or FSA. We also offer a payment plan that is $97 per month for one year – this includes lifetime access to the program! You can learn more about the plan options here.

We do not offer a month-to-month subscription option for two main reasons:

1. We encourage our members to be really honest and open with their Sinclair Method experience in order to promote progress and healing in a judgment-free community. Therefore, we want to create a safe and private container for them to do that. For that reason, we want those who join the program to be long-term members, versus people just dropping in and out.
2. Our primary goal for creating this program is to support people all the way through to pharmacological extinction (and beyond) with The Sinclair Method. Since it takes most people about a year or more – we created our program with that goal in mind. Also, many members who are already at extinction still enjoy being a part of the online community, and continue to share their journey post-extinction... which is great to see!

Thrive's program is for anyone who wants to stop over-drinking and get back to balance with alcohol. We focus on helping our members reduce their alcohol consumption without abstinence, using evidence-based tools.

Thrive's program is not for anyone who wants strict abstinence right away. Our program uses a medication therapy that works while someone is still drinking. However if your long-term goal is abstinence, we can help you reach that goal using The Sinclair Method. The program is also not for people who take opiate medication for chronic pain as this can interact with the medication we use in our program.

At Thrive we use a holistic approach to helping our members change their drinking habits – focusing on the whole person in order to address the biological, psychological, behavioral and spiritual aspects of alcohol use disorder. A cornerstone of our program is a medication therapy (naltrexone) that is used following The Sinclair Method (TSM). This medication is FDA-approved for treatment of problem drinking and when used correctly is proven to have a 78% success rate.

Thrive Alcohol Recovery was started by Katie Lain and Karen Dion. They are both success stories of The Sinclair Method and have both served as coaches and mentors to hundreds of others. Thrive was started as a way to help more people be successful with TSM by providing the right tools and resources to help them succeed. To learn more about their stories, visit here.

There are several ways to reach us. You can write to us here, email [email protected] or call or text us here ‪(406) 201-1225‬. We do our best to get back to you within 24 hours.

The Sinclair Method is an evidence-based treatment for problematic drinking developed by Dr. John D. Sinclair. It involves taking a medication called naltrexone when you drink alcohol. Unlike traditional treatments that require complete abstinence from alcohol, TSM allows you to continue drinking alcohol as part of the treatment, ultimately resulting in "pharmacological extinction" from the alcohol use disorder. It is proven to have a 78% success rate. To learn more, click here.

Naltrexone is an opiate-blocker medication that is used following The Sinclair Method. It has been FDA-approved for treatment of alcohol use disorder.

Naltrexone is proven to be a very safe medication for most people. It is non-habit-forming (not addictive), has very few medication interactions and is tolerated well by most people. Naltrexone is generally not used in someone who has advanced liver disease, and never used in someone who takes opioid pain medication.

Yes, drinking alcohol is actually required on The Sinclair Method due to how the medication works to block the reinforcement from alcohol. Drinking on TSM should be viewed as a treatment protocol that is done mindfully and with care.

The Sinclair Method (TSM) is for anyone who wants to drink less alcohol. It's a great method for people who have goals of moderate drinker, or those who may want to go abstinent in the future. The method is proven to have a 78% success rate (when used correctly) which means it works for most people. Anyone taking opioid pain medications, or anyone with advanced liver disease cannot do TSM (talk with your doctor first).
