With the help of medication, some people can relearn moderate drinking. Ria supports whichever path makes the biggest difference for an individual. If quitting completely is too difficult—or you simply don’t want to—we can help you cut back. If you prefer to quit entirely, we can also help get you there. It’s your choice.
Ria Health has offered support for the Sinclair Method (TSM) since day one. This innovative approach involves taking the medication naltrexone while continuing to drink, blocking the endorphin rush from alcohol. Over time, this can eliminate alcohol cravings, making it much easier to change your drinking patterns. Ria Health’s physicians and coaches offer expert support for the Sinclair Method—100 percent online.
