This is not something we're saying is suitable for everybody, but what we're saying is it needs to be discussed so that the drinker themselves can choose what they think will work for them needs to be an option needs to be in the list of options available exactly, and whatever the drinker chooses will work for them is usually the one that will work.
Ever heard of The Sinclair Method (TSM)? In this eye-opening episode of 'Two Roads Travelled', Jo and Paula sit down with Joanna from the C3 Foundation Europe to chat about this innovative treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). TSM involves taking medication like nalmefene or naltrexone before drinking. These meds block the brain's release of dopamine, which is what makes drinking feel so good. The result? Less desire to drink excessively. But it’s not just about popping a pill.
Joanna explains how TSM combines medication with full psychosocial support, benefiting both the drinker and their family. Despite its promise, TSM isn’t widely known or used. Joanna sheds light on why that is, discussing the lack of awareness among healthcare professionals and the stigma around medication-assisted treatments. She also highlights the importance of self-advocacy—encouraging patients to ask their GP about TSM. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about new ways to tackle alcohol misuse.
With real-life insights and practical advice, Jo, Paula, and Joanna offer a fresh perspective on managing AUD. Tune in to learn more about how The Sinclair Method could be a game-changer for you or someone you love.
