The New Era of Alcohol Treatment: The Sinclair Method

TSM is the modern day addiction treatment method with 80% success rate!

The Sinclair Method, or TSM, consists of taking naltrexone, an opioid blocker, one hour before your first drink. Naltrexone chemically disrupts the body’s behavior/reward cycle causing you to want to drink less instead of more. The Sinclair Method has a 78% long-term success rate. Patients who use TSM can expect to decrease their alcohol consumption, have less cravings to  drink frequently, and are able to gradually reduce the amount of alcohol rather effortlessly. Naltrexone has little to no side effects.

Driven by a more advanced medical model, Dr. Paul, a Board-Certified Addictionologist emphasizes the use of medications alongside standard techniques to reduce alcohol intake.
