The Sinclair Method (TSM) represents a ground-breaking approach in managing alcohol addiction.

This blog will guide you through the steps of starting TSM, underlining our expertise as market leaders in this domain.


Embarking on a Journey: Mastering Alcohol Dependence with The Sinclair Method (TSM)

What is The Sinclair Method (TSM)?

The Sinclair Method is a scientifically-backed treatment for alcohol dependence, involving the use of medication in conjunction with behavioural changes. It focuses on reducing the desire to drink, rather than abstinence, making it a unique approach in addiction treatment. Following 35 years of research and 125 clinical trials, Rethink Drink are pioneering a model of recovery from alcohol addiction with a clinically trialled 78% success rate.


Step 1: Reach Out for Help Free from Judgement and Condemnation

The first step in The Sinclair Method is recognizing that you need help and reaching out. This can be a daunting task, but at Rethink Drink, we ensure a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. Understanding and acknowledging your struggles with alcohol is a brave and vital part of the journey. We offer a safe space where your concerns are heard, and your needs are met with empathy and professionalism.


Step 2: Learning About The Sinclair Method (TSM)

Educating yourself about The Sinclair Method (TSM) is critical to your journey. Our mini-course, Rethink Drink Mini Course provides comprehensive information on how TSM works and its effectiveness. This self-learning module is designed to give you a clear understanding of the process, the medication involved, and how it interacts with your body and mind to reduce alcohol cravings. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your treatment and recovery journey.

Step 4: Implementing The Sinclair Method (TSM)

Starting the medication is a significant step in TSM. It’s essential to follow the prescribed plan accurately and consistently. At Rethink Drink, we offer ongoing support and guidance as you embark on this part of the journey. The medication used in TSM helps to gradually reduce the desire to drink by altering the reinforcement patterns in the brain associated with alcohol. It's important to maintain open communication with our team during this phase to address any concerns or adjustments needed in your treatment.


Step 5: Monitoring Progress and Making Adjustments

Monitoring your progress and making necessary adjustments is crucial in TSM. Regular check-ins with the Rethink Drink team allow for tracking your journey, celebrating your successes, and making any needed changes to your treatment plan. This step is vital for ensuring that the method is working effectively for you and for making any necessary adaptations for your continued success in the program.


Step 6: Embracing Support Systems

Engaging with support systems plays an essential role in your recovery. Rethink Drink provides a robust community of support, including group sessions, online forums, and one-on-one check-ins. These systems offer emotional support, practical advice, and a sense of community, all of which are instrumental in maintaining motivation and progress. Embracing these support systems helps you feel connected and understood, providing a network of encouragement and shared experiences.
