Dr David Sinclair on His Cure for Alcoholism, Naltrexone & The Sinclair Method

Dr. David Sinclair explains the Sinclair Method, also known as pharmacological extinction, for treating alcoholism. The method involves the use of Naltrexone to block endorphins released when drinking alcohol, weakening the neural pathways associated with alcohol consumption. Extinction is the process of eliminating behaviors that no longer provide reinforcement. The method has been successful in about 80% of alcoholics, but not all types of alcoholism respond to this treatment.

Highlights

About Katie Lain

Katie Lain struggled with alcohol use disorder for nearly ten years until she stumbled upon The Sinclair Method. She couldn’t believe how effective the treatment was as it truly allowed her to become a moderate “normal drinker” – yet somehow, most people hadn’t even heard about it before. Katie Lain’s personal success with The Sinclair Method has inspired her to be a lifelong advocate for this method. Today, Katie is "accidentally" alcohol-free as she unexpectedly lost interest in drinking, thanks to this treatment. Now she advocates for and supports others through this wildly effective (yet unknown) treatment for alcohol use disorder.
