Thrive Alcohol Recovery Reviews 18

I first heard about Naltrexone on PBS Newshour in Dec 2024. I immediately pursued more information and found Thrive. I have cut WAY back on my drinking with the help of Naltrexone, the Sinclair Method, and Thrive, with most days alcohol-free. I attend the online sessions, which help me stay focused. The counselors at Thrive are great, and the website contains a great deal of information to help me understand why/how I have have alcohol use disorder (AUD) and how to overcome it. Thank you Thrive!

Thrive is fabulous online community for people trying to cut back on their drinking, taking Naltrexone & using The Sinclair Method. I have been a member for over a year & HIGHLY recommend it! They have great videos, exercises, group calls & resources to help you. It is also a very accepting, non-judgmental group of people who offer support, advice & encouragement. Also, it is VERY reasonably prices. Well worth the money!

The Thrive team has been a game changer for me as I navigate the complexities of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The live weekly coaching sessions support sharing and listening to others. I have shared the peer-reviewed studies with my physician so that he could better understand TSM.

The company run by Katie Lain, is a caring, methodically supervised organisation. It is non judgemental, helps you find your way, and is in my opinion very professionally run. Thrive has an abundance of tools and strategies to help those with AUD. Well structured importantly, and availability through zoom, for support and coaches. Look at the science of The Sinclair Method. A tragedy it is not used in every rehab center!
Sad this Sinclair Method is not more known, but it will be. It saves lives and is science and data driven. I cannot say enough for the past four months watching it help other people, and so far helping me. I feel if it gets you to stop drinking, or for some, to be able to drink sometimes while following the science based protocol of extinguishing AUD. That may sound crazy. But look at the data of 30 years. Katie has developed a very caring organisation, called Thrive!

Cost is great, you can do it at home and noone needs to know. The staff is beyond awesome. You can get a hold of them at almost anytime if you need help. The app is wonderful with plenty of exercises and videos to learn from. I have had a great time cutting way back on drinking with no real stress.

I started the program about 18 months ago. The membership cost was hard to justify right away, and I thought about trying the Sinclair method on my own with the pills, but the support group was more than I could ask for, and I wouldn't be successful without it. The facilitators, especially Katie, are great. The extra sessions and guest speakers are also helpful.

I haven't had a healthy relationship with alcohol for most of my life, especially the last 10 years. I was able to stay sober 2018-2020, but I never stopped craving it. I joined Thrive when I was at the point of drinking 6-12 drinks a day, every day. I got quick results right away, and a slower change since. The group really helped encourage me to stick with it. Now, drinking usually seems gross. I've only drank a few times in 2025, and it's not an effort to not drink now. The few times I did, I would have 2 or 3, and be done with it. I never imagined that I could become a "normal drinker" but if I take my pill whenever I know I'll have a drink, I'll have more control than I ever thought possible.

This program has allowed me to quit alcohol for good after years of suffering. I can't thank Katie Lain and Thrive enough.

The premium online community for people on The Sinclair Method and using naltrexone. Worth every penny. AA and Al Anon recently were a major contributing factor in destroying my marriage, and Thrive has been instrumental as a support network as so many of us have been damaged by AA and made to feel shame and guilt for years by that toxic, 95% failure-shown program. Thrive utilizes medical science, common sense, proper psychological help and is a program of empowerment and support--not powerlessness, surrender, and 1930s dogma.

This program has great depth and breadth. Excellent counselors. You make it what you want--everyday support and companionship, a couple times a week check-in, or just occasionally. Great experts, people who have been there, and all the rest of us strivers. I've been very involved, and then other times, not so much. But regardless, I feel very supported and understood. I appreciate the study and research-based content. Really life changing!

Thrive has changed my relationship to alcohol. Thrive is a comprehensive resource for non-abstinence-based alcohol recovery and treatment. Many people eventually give up alcohol altogether for one reason that AA and Malibu can't accomplish: The Sinclair Method works because eventually you lose interest in drinking. Others are able to reach moderate drinking goals (my situation). Thrive provides educational, community, and personalized support, while being a link to the medication-side of the program. There is no place like THRIVE!!

Thrive actually saved my life as I suffered from AUD for decades. Working TSM with fellow members, sharing experiences transformed and gave me a new life free from AUD!!

We’ve had the privilege of partnering with Thrive Alcohol to support patients through medication-assisted treatment, and I can confidently say they’re one of the most thoughtful, mission-driven teams in the space. Their coaching model is rooted in empathy and practicality — not fluff — and you can see how much they care about real outcomes for the people they serve.

Everyone we’ve worked with on their team has been sharp, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping patients change their relationship with alcohol in a sustainable way. It’s a rare and refreshing thing in healthcare.

Highly recommend Thrive to anyone looking for real, compassionate support.

After drinking 3-4 glasses of wine daily for about 20 years, I decided to stop putting poison in my body and transition to a healthier lifestyle. I found the Thrive website and numerous you tube videos on TSM and NAL and had hope for me. Starting NAL mid January 2025 and fast forward 3 months, I am averaging 4-5 weekly alcohol free days, while limiting alcohol intake of 4-5 ounces on the other days. My goal is extinction and expect to reach this milestone by mid-year. I look and feel so much better and pat myself on the back together with a high five each morning when I wake up after another alcohol free day. NAL is truly a gift for alcohol addiction!!! Thank you for your wonderful support and excellent videos.

Thrive’s podcasts were key in my TSM journey. Tons of information on Naltrexone and TSM to set you in the right track, as well as amazing stories to keep you inspired. After years of trying to cut down, Thrive’s approach to addressing AUD is the only one that has ever given me lasting results. I finally have control over this thing.

The Sinclair Method (TSM) and Thrive’s educational resources have changed my life! I was a heavy daily drinker, who had failed multiple times using the cold turkey abstinence method. I’ve been using TSM for 8 months, and I can feel my brain rewiring itself to not desire alcohol any longer. I went from having no control over alcohol, to having an off switch. I can now only drink one or two drinks and be done. Thrive is an amazing company proving support to those who are using TSM, and I am so grateful they are out there helping people reverse AUD! If you are struggling, I highly recommend TSM and Thrive!
