No, the cost of the program remains the same regardless if you already have your naltrexone medication – that's because the cost of the medication and physician are separate from the program cost. Click here to see the estimated cost of naltrexone when you join Thrive.

Many of our members enter the program while already incorporating naltrexone as part of the Sinclair Method under their doctor's guidance.

Thrive's program is structured to provide assistance to individuals utilizing the Sinclair Method, addressing the psychosocial dimensions of transforming their relationship with alcohol. This encompasses aspects such as habit adjustments, mindful drinking, developing healthier coping skills, and fostering a lifestyle with reduced emphasis on alcohol consumption.

Thrive's program is designed to complement the guidance of your physician who has prescribed naltrexone.

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. To foster a safe and private space, we prefer long-term members over those who drop in and out.
2. Our main goal is to support individuals throughout their journey to their personal drink reduction goals the Sinclair Method, a process that typically takes a year or more. We've designed our program with this extended timeline in mind. Even after reaching their goals, we find that many members continue to be part of the online community, sharing their journey of freedom from problem drinking, which we find inspiring!

The Alcohol Freedom Program offered by Thrive is for individuals who are using The Sinclair Method and want to plug into a private, comprehensive program that provides unlimited access to peer and coaching support. Our program helps you change your habits around your relationship with alcohol – including making gradual lifestyle changes and creating new coping tools.

The Alcohol Freedom Program is not for anyone who is struggling with concurrent illicit drug use, numerous medications – including any use of opiate pain medications, severe and persistent active mental health issues, active domestic violence or danger in the household, or serious acute or chronic medical conditions. These individuals are not eligible for The Alcohol Freedom Program as alcohol exacerbates these conditions or in the case of legal issues, is not allowed. The program is also not for people who take opiate medication for chronic pain as this can interact with the medication that is used with The Sinclair Method. All medication questions can be addressed by your prescribing physician. Your prescribing physician will evaluate you to ensure you are a good candidate for naltrexone treatment for alcohol use disorder. Should your physician decide you are not a good candidate for the Program, we will unenroll you from the Program and refund your money.

At Thrive, we assist individuals using The Sinclair Method to create lasting changes in habits, lifestyle, and behavior, leading to a transformative relationship with alcohol.

The Sinclair Method employs the medication naltrexone as a harm-reduction approach for treating alcohol addiction.

If necessary, Thrive can connect you with a telemedicine physician for your medication prescription and management.

Within the program, we guide members through a gradual transformation of drinking habits, addressing the biological, psychological, behavioral, and spiritual aspects of alcohol use disorder.

Members enjoy ongoing group coaching calls, peer support, access to video courses and resources, daily articles, and tips. Additionally, private 1x1 coaching calls (paid per session) can be scheduled at any time.

Accessible from both computers and smartphones, our program allows participants to engage privately from the comfort of their homes.

The Sinclair Method (TSM) is an evidence-based approach for treating alcohol use disorder that utilizes the medication naltrexone. Developed by Dr. David Sinclair, TSM employs pharmacological extinction to reduce alcohol cravings and consumption. Individuals using TSM take naltrexone before drinking, and over time, this process helps rewire the brain's association between alcohol and pleasure. The goal is to gradually diminish the desire for alcohol, leading to a decrease in overall consumption. TSM focuses on the individual's ability to regain control over their drinking habits by addressing the neurobiological aspects of addiction. The method has gained recognition for its harm-reduction approach and has been successful in helping individuals achieve lasting changes in their relationship with alcohol.

Naltrexone is a medication that has been approved for treatment of alcoholism by the FDA since 1994. It was the cornerstone of Dr David Sinclair's research and discovery into pharmacological extinction of alcohol addiction, also known as The Sinclair Method. 

According to the American Addiction Centers:

Naltrexone is considered safe to use and associated with few side effects; however, all medications have a side effect profile. Side effects as a result of naltrexone use are reported to be relatively rare, but they do occur in some instances. Some include:²

• Nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea are the most common reported side effects; however, these typically resolve over time.
• Some individuals may experience muscle stiffness, cramps, and headaches.
• Sleep disruptions (including both insomnia and hypersomnia), anxiety, and dizziness have also been reported.
• Individuals should not use opiate drugs while taking naltrexone. People who use opiate drugs and take naltrexone may experience opioid withdrawal symptoms as naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that individuals who use naltrexone should be abstinent from opioid drugs for a week to 10 days.^1,2 Because naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, people using it and who also use opioid medications for their psychoactive effects will not experience the typical “high” that they get from opiate drugs. This may result in individuals taking more opiate drugs than they normally would and potentially overdosing on opiates.
• Pregnant women should not use naltrexone.

If you don't have a naltrexone prescription, Thrive can refer you to a telemedicine physician who specializes in the use of naltrexone for alcohol use disorder. 

For questions about the safety of naltrexone, please consult your 

In Dr David Sinclair's research, consuming alcohol was a part of the treatment protocol. Dr Sinclair showed through his clinical trials that pharmacological extinction of alcohol use disorder can occur when an individual drinks paired with naltrexone. 

Naltrexone and the Sinclair Method are always prescribed under your doctor's guidance, therefore, your doctor will advise you how to use naltrexone in the way that is most effective for you and your goals.
