The Sinclair Method

A medical programme for people who want to drink less. Naltrexone takes the reward out of alcohol over three to four months, so the urge softens and the habit loosens with it. It works alongside your own effort, not instead of it.

The Sinclair Method

A medical approach that works alongside your effort

The Sinclair Method uses a well-established medicine called naltrexone, taken one hour before you plan to drink. Over three to four months, it gently unwinds the brain's reward response to alcohol. The urge quiets. Drinking becomes something you can put down. For most patients, the change is gradual but real and durable.

It is not a willpower replacement. It is a willpower assistant. Think of it the way many people now think about GLP-1 medicines for weight: the medicine does the hard pharmacological work of turning the volume down on a craving, and the person does the life work of deciding what to do with that quieter moment. Neither can do it alone.

Like every medicine, it suits some people better than others. About three in four people who stick with it see a meaningful reduction in their drinking. The one in four or so who do not often have a different pattern of drinking (habitual or social rather than reward-driven), or a genetic variation in the opioid receptor, or a bigger underlying picture (unresolved depression, trauma, anxiety) that the medicine on its own cannot reach. We talk about this openly at the start. We never promise a cure, and we respect every person's choice — whether that is reduction, abstinence, AA, NA or combinations of all of these. Many people use naltrexone alongside AA and that is a valid path.
