The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a treatment approach for AUD that involves taking the medication naltrexone only when planning to drink alcohol. Unlike traditional abstinence-based methods, TSM allows patients to continue drinking initially while gradually reducing their cravings and consumption over time.

For many people questioning their relationship with alcohol, one of the first questions is "I don't want to stop drinking altogether, can I just cut down?" It is a reasonable question.
