The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a science-based protocol for treating alcohol use disorder. It uses the medication naltrexone in a targeted dose. Over time, most people using this protocol will experience fewer alcohol cravings and less interest in drinking.

The Sinclair Method Explained

Here's a short video clip of Dr David Sinclair explaining his discovery of The Sinclair Method, and how and why it works

According to Dr David Sinclair's research:

• Addiction to alcohol is a learned behavior inside the brain's neural pathways
• Over time with repeated drinking, these pathways become stronger, leading to compulsive drinking
• The Sinclair Method (TSM) treats alcohol addiction where it is learned – which is inside the brain
• For approximately 80% of people, TSM can result in pharmacological extinction of the alcohol addiction. In other words, the alcohol addiction can be reversed
• The Sinclair Method does not require willpower as it reduces interest in alcohol after several months of treatment
• Over 90 clinical trials have supported the effectiveness of the Sinclair Method

More About Naltrexone

• Naltrexone has been approved by the FDA for treatment of alcohol use disorder since 1994.
• Naltrexone is considered a safe, non-addictive and non-habit-forming medication that has very few interactions or side effects for most people.
• Following The Sinclair Method, naltrexone works by blocking the endorphin reward from alcohol. It does not make a person sick from alcohol like Antabuse.
• A prescription is required in most parts of the world for naltrexone.

Naltrexone Works Best When Combined With Support

According to the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, several studies have shown that naltrexone works best when combined with behavioral support for coping and habit change. That's why we guide and support you through this in the program, at your own pace.

How Can Naltrexone & The Sinclair Method Help Me Change My Drinking Habits?*

1. Regained control over alcohol. This means "forgetting" to drink, not being able to finish a drink, or being able to keep alcohol in the house without drinking it.
2. Cravings for alcohol reduced or eliminated.  This means your mind can feel more "free" as you think about alcohol less often. Many people don't even realize how much they are thinking about alcohol until they go on The Sinclair Method.
3. Choice of moderation or abstinence. It's up to you to decide what type of role you want alcohol to play in your life. Many people have a goal to drink moderately, and others quit drinking with greater ease through The Sinclair Method.

"I support The Sinclair Method because all throughout my psychiatric residency training, alcohol treatment was very all or none in regards to AA and abstinence or using medications like Antabuse or Campral, with essentially expected poor outcomes. When I learned about The Sinclair Method, it was a lightbulb moment, and I saw immediate life-changing  responses with my patients. I have been a believer since then, as this has been the only treatment where I have seen consistent and sustained positive results. It is a game-change and a life-saver."
