The Sinclair Method: drink less, on your own terms.

The Sinclair Method suits people who want to drink less, not necessarily to stop altogether. In trials, 78% of people cut down to sensible levels within six to twelve months. And many who decide they want to stop completely find it takes them there in time.

It isn't right for everyone. Naltrexone blocks opioids, so opioid painkillers won't work while you take it, and if you're dependent on opioids it can bring on withdrawal. It's also not suitable in serious liver problems or pregnancy. The assessment checks for all of this, and if it isn't right we'll talk you through other options.

If you're already taking naltrexone (or nalmefene) from somewhere else and want to move your care to us, you're very welcome. Just tell us where you're up to and we'll take it from there.

The tablet does the chemistry, and that is the heavy lifting. But it can be hard to reshape the habits and routines around drinking by yourself. That is where a coach comes in.

Your Sinclair Method coach meets you by video or phone, at a pace that suits you. They help you stick with it, make sense of your own drinking, and are there when it feels harder. Practical, on your side, never a lecture.

Coaching comes with the programme, and it helps. If you would rather go it alone on the medication, that is a real choice too. It is here when you want it, never pushed.

A liver check is part of taking naltrexone safely. Had a liver test anywhere in the last six months? We'll gladly use it. If not, we'll arrange one. You'll need a repeat liver check one to three months after starting, then from time to time after that.

However you'd like to do it:

• A finger-prick kit, posted to your door

• A blood draw at one of our partner laboratories near you, or at our Westfield clinic

• A home visit, if that's what you need

Blood tests are priced separately, like the medication. And if you can get a liver check free on the NHS through your own GP, we'd encourage that.

Not keen on needles? You're far from alone. Nalmefene works in a similar way but needs no routine liver checks, so it can be the better fit. Your doctor will talk you through it.

The price below is for the clinical service. Your medication and blood tests are separate, so you only pay for what you need.

• Online, no appointment: £95 for your first doctor-reviewed prescription, then £49 a repeat. Each is a fresh review by a doctor.

• See a doctor: £120 for a consultation by phone, video or in person. In person you pay afterwards; phone and video at booking. Repeats £49 online, or £120 to see a doctor again.

• The full programme: £499. A doctor consultation, 6 months of coaching, and 12 months of repeats.

• Medication: naltrexone or nalmefene, dispensed and delivered by us, priced separately.

• Blood tests: the liver check that comes with treatment. Use a recent result from any provider, or we arrange one from £49.

No subscription, no lock-in.
