A Science-Based Path to Regain Control
Discover The Sinclair Method (TSM) — a revolutionary treatment that uses medication to gradually reduce your desire to drink, putting you back in the driver's seat.
Explore Our ProgramsHow The Sinclair Method Rewires Your Brain
The Sinclair Method (TSM) is an evidence-based treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder that utilizes the mechanism of pharmacological extinction. By taking Naltrexone one hour before drinking, the endorphin reward from alcohol is blocked. Over time, this breaks the neural reinforcement loop, reducing cravings and restoring control.
TSM breaks the cycle by blocking alcohol's rewarding effects on the brain.
Pharmacological Extinction. Naltrexone blocks the endorphin rush from alcohol. Without the "reward," your brain's craving for it weakens over time.
No Abstinence Required. The method works by leveraging your existing drinking patterns to retrain the brain, making it accessible for those not ready for immediate abstinence.
Empowerment & Control. By putting you in control of the process, TSM builds confidence and promotes mindful choices about your alcohol consumption.
