Medication-Assisted Recovery in Meriden, CT

Meriden is a larger city west of Middletown along I-691 and Route 66, and it sends a steady number of recovery patients to the office each month. Michael Valalik, PMHNP-BC, provides compassionate, evidence-based recovery support for Meriden adults, in person at the Middletown office or by telehealth.

Recovery support for Meriden

Meriden patients arrive at recovery care for many reasons: cravings that feel hard to resist, worry about relapse, or the early, uncertain days after deciding to stop. Michael treats all of it with the same evidence-based, non-judgmental approach.

Medication that reduces cravings is often the anchor, paired with practical support for daily routines. Many patients also find clinical hypnosis helpful alongside medication.
