THE CHOICE IS YOURS

You don't have to stop drinking to start.

The Sinclair Method is a medically supervised approach to changing your relationship with alcohol. A coach explains the programme, and a doctor checks whether treatment is appropriate for you.

What is the Sinclair Method?

Change Your Relationship with Alcohol

The Sinclair Method is a proven, medical approach for cutting down on alcohol without the need for rehab or going cold turkey. After a private, confidential online consultation, you may be prescribed Naltrexone in the UK, a safe, non-addictive medication that helps reduce the urge to drink. TSM for alcohol treatment works quietly in the background, supporting you to regain control at your own pace and rebuild healthier habits. If Naltrexone is not right for you, our doctors will discuss other safe, evidence-based options.

PRIVATE SUPPORT

Does this sound familiar?

You're holding it all together - but drinking more than you want, more often than you'd like.

If you're nodding, the Sinclair Method was built for you.

  • You plan to have one or two - and somehow the bottle's empty.
  • You can do Dry January - then you're back to where you started within a week.
  • You're sick of the 3am dread - the racing heart, the guilt, the "never again" you never keep.
  • You want help privately - not rehab, not a room full of strangers, and not a lifetime of being teetotal.

Why it works when willpower doesn't

Every time you drink, your brain gets a hit of reward - so it learns to crave alcohol. The tablet blocks that reward. Keep drinking while it's working and, week by week, your brain unlearns the craving.

Alcohol’s rewarding effects can reinforce drinking habits. The Sinclair Method aims to reduce that reinforcement through prescribed treatment alongside practical support. A clinician assesses whether the approach is suitable for you; progress varies.

TOP QUESTIONS

What people ask before they start

Short, practical answers to the questions people usually need settled before they feel ready to book.

01

Am I too far gone?

You can talk openly about your drinking. A doctor assesses which treatment is suitable; if you need a different kind of help first, the team will explain the next step.

02

Will my GP or employer find out?

Nothing is shared with your GP or employer without your say-so, unless the law or a safeguarding duty requires it. You can ask about privacy before deciding to proceed.

03

Will I be judged?

The first call is a private, no-obligation conversation with a senior coach. You can explain what is happening and ask questions at your own pace.

04

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Progress varies. Your coach supports you through the programme. If the doctor finds treatment medically unsuitable, the existing refund terms apply, including a clinical assessment deduction. Ask the team to confirm that amount before paying.
