The Sinclair Method: Timing and Self-Experimentation in Alcoholism Treatment

The effectiveness of Naltrexone in treating alcoholism relies heavily on timing. For optimal results, the medication should be taken just before drinking rather than at times when the urge to drink is low, such as in the early morning or late at night.
