The Sinclair Method

At WeRiseSober, we believe recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a medically informed, highly effective treatment for those who want to reduce or stop drinking without the need for abstinence from day one. Backed by decades of research and real-world success, TSM empowers you to take back control—gradually and sustainably.

What is The Sinclair Method?

What Is the Sinclair Method?

The Sinclair Method uses a prescription medication (typically naltrexone) taken before drinking to reduce the brain’s reward response to alcohol. Over time, this retrains the brain to dissociate alcohol from pleasure—leading to fewer cravings and a natural decline in drinking habits.

Unlike traditional abstinence-based approaches, TSM allows you to continue drinking during treatment, with a structured, therapeutic plan guiding the process.

How It Works

  1. Assessment and Prescription – You’ll begin with a medical evaluation to ensure TSM is right for you. If suitable, you’ll receive a prescription for naltrexone or a similar medication.

  2. Targeted Use – You take the medication one hour before any planned alcohol consumption.

  3. Gradual Change – Over time, drinking becomes less rewarding, and most individuals find their intake drops significantly—or stops altogether.

  4. Ongoing Support – We provide regular check-ins, educational resources, and optional group or individual support throughout your journey.

Who Is It For?

TSM is suitable for individuals who:

  • Want to cut down or quit drinking gradually

  • Are not ready for immediate abstinence

  • Prefer a private, flexible approach

  • Are seeking a non-shaming, science-based method

It is not suitable for everyone, so a thorough medical assessment is essential before starting.
