Having been an alcoholic and drug addict for so many years and now having helped hundreds of alcoholics achieve sobriety utilising naltrexone along with my unqiue programme combined with the Sinclair Method(TSM) it achievable for anyone, the Sinclair Method along with therapy is also a slower way to cut back to healthy levels and / or stop drinking without the shock of abruptly stopping which often leads to relapse a short while later, note* this method is not for everyone and certain alcoholics do need to immediately stop, often for medical reasons, so unfortunaltey this programme is not for them, for more information please contact me.
Naltrexone is an SAHPRA approved medicine available in South Africa in either tablet form or as an implant and is crucial in the Sinclair method.
The Sinclair Method for Alcohol Use Disorders is an evidence-based treatment for problematic drinking developed by Dr. John D. Sinclair. Unlike traditional treatments that require complete abstinence from alcohol, the Sinclair Method allows you to continue drinking alcohol at the beginning of treatment.
In fact, treatment success depends on the continued consumption of alcohol in combination with the prescription medication Naltrexone.
Naltrexone is at the heart of the Sinclair Method (TSM) for Alcoholism. When you take Naltrexone prior to drinking, it blocks endorphins, the naturally occurring opiates in the brain, from being released when alcohol is consumed.
When the endorphins are blocked, there is no “buzz” or rewarding experience, and the alcohol doesn’t make you feel the pleasure that drives you to drink excessively.
Over time, your brain learns not to associate alcohol with pleasure, resulting in reduced cravings and improved control over alcohol use. Naltrexone must be taken at least one hour before your first drink if using tablet form, if you have the implant the Naltrexone is continuously dosed into your body, about Nalterone:
- · SAHPRA and FDA-approved for Alcohol Dependence in 1994
- · Well tolerated with few side effects
- · Not habit-forming
There are no meetings, chips, or higher powers with this program, through a combination of naltrexone and naltrexone specific counselling that I offer we can help you or your loved goals of getting sober and maintaining a happy life of sobriety. Below link to to SAMHSA description on Naltrexone:
“We have at our disposal a treatment which has been demonstrated to be safe and effective. It should be used now.”
