The Sinclair Method
Have you tried to stop drinking? Have you been to inpatient rehab—possibly numerous times? If so, I have a better solution for you.
The problem with rehab centers is they are an artificial environment. Everything is externally controlled. But the moment you are released back into the real world, you start drinking again. You need to have internal control.
Have you heard of the Sinclair Method which uses Naltrexone—an FDA approved medication? It allows you to drink a moderate amount of alcohol at the beginning of your treatment.
Naltrexone should be taken one hour before you drink. it blocks endorphins—which are naturally occurring opioids that are released in the brain when you drink. Without endorphins, you don’t get a “buzz” or a rewarding experience.
Over time, the brain reprograms itself not to associate alcohol with pleasure. So, why drink?
Naltrexone was approved for alcohol dependence by the FDA in 1994. It’s non-habit-forming and it has very few side effects. It is a generic, inexpensive medication and is covered by most insurance plans.
Naltrexone helps reduce cravings and thus decreases your desire to drink, But this pill—or any pill alone is not the answer. You need to have a psychiatric evaluation and psychosocial support.
Drinking is a symptom. We need to get to the root cause and treat the real problem.
