Are you ready to drink less?

Forward Counseling is proud to announce that we are offering the Sinclair Method: a safe, humane, progressive, evidence-based intervention to break free from alcohol addiction and cravings using Naltrexone.

If you use the Sinclair Method, you are allowed to continue to drink. This is not an abstinence program. We know, it sounds crazy! The Sinclair Method is an innovative, scientific breakthrough discovered in the 90s’ and is widely used in European Countries with impressive results. The Sinclair Method has a 78% success rate in clinical trials and is the most effective cure for alcoholism.

Why we do not encourage our clients to attend AA

We do not encourage our clients to attend 12 step groups like AA because other interventions have a better success rate and a lower risk of harm.

At Forward Counseling, we believe that it is imperative to use the most progressive and effective treatments available and believe that more recent scientific breakthroughs are more effective than 12 Steps.

12 Step Leaders and 12 Step Sponsors have no formal training, no board overseeing them and are not equipped to help others deal with deep personal issues. In 12 Step Groups, there is no legal, professional, or business accountability.

Why Forward Counseling does not have any affiliations with Treatment Centers and why we do not refer clients for Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment

We do not refer our clients for inpatient treatment because inpatient substance abuse treatment has been shown to be ineffective at resolving addiction by scientific research.

We do not refer our clients to inpatient treatment because it is expensive, costing 30-45 thousand dollars per month. Inpatient treatment is ineffective and sales tactics are used on potential clients to use savings, 401K funds, or borrow from family to afford treatment, thus compounding the client’s stress. There are more progressive, humane, and effective treatments available.

If you have trauma, sexual shame, or an unresolved loss that is motivating your drinking behavior, we can help you resolve that trauma with compassionate psychotherapy with a trauma informed, clinically trained professional.

When you are ready to work with a team of clinically trained trauma informed professionals, give us a call or text at 901-930-7397 or click on the button below. We can help you come up with a treatment plan to meet your goals and help you make meaning and heal from the past.
