Sinclair Method Studies
This article examines the scientific foundation behind TSM, drawing on nearly three decades of peer‑reviewed trials, neuroimaging research, and systematic reviews.
We all enjoy the occasional drink – but when alcohol becomes more than just a way to relax or socialise, it might be time to pause and reflect. Are you drinking more than you used to? Struggling to cut back even when you try? Feeling frustrated or ashamed about it?
Naltrexone is a prescription medication used to reduce the desire to drink by blocking endorphins released when alcohol is consumed. This means individuals no longer receive the same “buzz” from drinking, which over time leads to a reduction in cravings and overall consumption.
When many people first hear about The Sinclair Method (TSM), they assume it's just about taking a pill. Simple, right? Pop naltrexone before drinking, and eventually lose the urge. But here's the truth: success on TSM isn't just about the medication — it's about the method, the mindset, and most importantly, the support.
The Sinclair Method (TSM) offers a revolutionary way to overcome alcohol dependence. Unlike traditional abstinence-based recovery, TSM allows individuals to continue drinking while taking medication that gradually reduces their desire for alcohol. This process, known as pharmacological extinction, helps individuals regain control over their drinking habits without the pressure of complete sobriety from the start.
