Dr. Charles Mok explains the Sinclair Method, an inexpensive alcohol addiction treatment available through family doctors. His sister Amy Mok, a nurse practitioner in Seattle, used it with psychiatric prisoners and saw reduced relapse and recidivism rates.
Chapters
The cost is pretty inexpensive. Less cost than, say, drinking every day. It's available from your family doctor. Some of our doctors here can prescribe that as well. My sister, Amy Mok, is a nurse practitioner in Seattle, and she's really focused on this, very passionate about it. She was in a situation where she was dealing with psychiatric prisoners, prisoners in jail who had a lot of recidivism because they had drug use and alcohol abuse. As soon as they get out there in the same social environment, they relapse and get back in jail. So this is really an option for her patients to get off their addiction and have a tool that gives them a little edge over just doing it on their own, just white knuckling it on their own.
