Addiction Treatments and Sinclair Method for Alcoholism – Louisville, KY

NOTE: The Sinclair method to treat addictions involves taking naltrexone which is a very safe medication that is generally free of side effects. However, it should NOT be taken if you take narcotic medications, have a liver disease with elevated liver enzymes, or are pregnant. Narcotic-Heroin addicts may start naltrexone after being off opiates for 10 days. Starting while taking opiates can precipitate withdrawal and even death.

Alcoholics, meth, and cocaine addicts can start immediately. In fact, alcoholics must take the medication 1 hour before drinking and must drink alcohol if they are to succeed. Very few methods of treating addictions are as effective as naltrexone.

RAPID DETOX PROGRAM: For those wanting rapid safe detoxification from narcotics like oxycodone, heroin, suboxone, etc. we offer monitored IV ketamine anesthesia sedation with IV naltrexone which displaces ALL the opiates from the body. This process is also called Anesthesia Assisted Rapid Opiate Detoxification (AAROD). Essentially, in 2-4 hours a person can go through withdrawal WITHOUT experiencing the nasty side effects of WITHDRAW because they SLEEP through the withdrawal side effects waking up with little or no symptoms. You will NOT be intubated [tube in trachea]. You will be gently sedated and monitored so you sleep through withdrawal like when having a colonoscopy. Once opiates are out of the system, successful recovery-sobriety becomes not just a frustrating impossible goal but a reachable reality. We can then place you on naltrexone orally once per day, naltrexone pellets under the skin lasting 3 months [not covered by insurance], or Vivitrol [naltrexone monthly injections]if you prefer and your insurance approves Vivitrol.

We can also help patients by replenishing the patient’s body with nutrients, B Vitamins from a Myers-Gabys IV cocktail and we help detoxify the body using high dose IV Vitamin C and IV Glutathione therapies.

Next, you can select counseling, naltrexone orally, naltrexone pellets under the skin or Vivitrol Injections, an Intensive Outpatient Home Based Program, or an Intensive College Dorm-like Based Program.

Treatment programs, approaches, and lengths are tailored individually based on individual needs and preferences.

Insurance coverage may be available for the counseling portion of the program. The IV and pellet treatments ARE NOT covered by insurance. Costs are variable depending on the complexity of the medical situation and the length of treatment.

We offer discretion, privacy, and exceptional, compassionate care since our team recognizes that anyone can become trapped by addiction.
