The Sinclair Method with Claudia Christian Claudia Christian has been in the film and television business as an actress for over 35 years. She has starred in over 50 films and thousands of hours of television. Sci-fi fans around the world know her best from her starring role on Babylon 5.  For years Claudia struggled with drinking. She tried many treatment methods, but nothing worked, and she couldn't seem to stay sober for more than a few months. That was until she discovered The Sinclair Method(TSM). Unlike traditional treatments that require complete abstinence from alcohol, the Sinclair Method allows you to continue drinking alcohol at the beginning of treatment. In fact, success depends on the continued consumption of alcohol in combination with the prescription medication Naltrexone. When you take Naltrexone before drinking, it blocks endorphins, the naturally occurring opiates in the brain, from being released when alcohol is consumed. When the endorphins are blocked, there is no “buzz” or rewarding experience, and the alcohol doesn’t make you feel the pleasure that drives you to drink excessively. The idea is that over time, your brain learns not to associate alcohol with pleasure, resulting in reduced cravings for alcohol. TSM is recognized as a form of Medicated Assisted Treatment(MAT). Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) involves the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Although the initial purpose is to curb alcohol use, many people do eventually completely abstain from drinking. Today, Claudia is the most recognized advocate for The Sinclair Method. She says, "This is not a magic pill, there is still other work that must be done as part of the TSM treatment."
