Module 1: Introduction to the Sinclair Method

Module 1 of 3 • Estimated reading time: 8-10 minutes

Welcome to "Understanding the Sinclair Method with Heal@Home." In this short course, we'll introduce you to a revolutionary approach to alcohol addiction treatment that has helped thousands regain control of their lives.

What is the Sinclair Method (TSM)?

The Sinclair Method (TSM) is an evidence-based treatment for alcohol use disorder that uses a medication called Naltrexone. Unlike traditional abstinence-only approaches, TSM doesn't require you to stop drinking immediately. Instead, it focuses on gradually reducing your cravings and consumption over time.

The Core Principle

You take Naltrexone one hour before your first drink of the day, every day you plan to drink. This simple act initiates a process called "pharmacological extinction," which we'll explain in more detail in the next module.

Why TSM is Different

Many people are familiar with treatment models that emphasize complete abstinence from alcohol, often through programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or inpatient rehabilitation. While these approaches are effective for some, they don't work for everyone, and the pressure to be immediately sober can be daunting.

TSM offers a different path. It acknowledges that for many, alcohol addiction is a learned behavior, deeply rooted in the brain's reward system. By taking Naltrexone before drinking, you gradually "unlearn" the pleasurable association with alcohol. This means you can continue to drink, but over time, your desire for alcohol diminishes naturally and safely.

A Flexible Approach

TSM recognizes that recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. It provides a scientifically-backed method that works with your current lifestyle while gradually reducing alcohol's hold on your life.
