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. The Sinclair Method, developed by Dr. David Sinclair, demonstrates that administering Naltrexone before consumption can significantly reduce alcohol cravings. Research using genetically predisposed alcoholic rats showed that this approach led to a marked decrease in their interest in alcohol over time. Additionally, individuals seeking to understand and implement the Sinclair Method often turn to social platforms like Facebook and YouTube for community support and personal experiences, especially during times when traditional medical advice may be lacking.
