Help for
Substance Use
& Mental Health

Dr. Felgus works with adolescents and adults seeking help with substance use and the anxiety, depression, trauma, or insomnia that often accompany it. If you’re looking for more than “just meds,” you’re in the right place. Educational evaluations without medication are also offered.

Why Patients Choose

Dr. Felgus

Addiction Medicine + Psychiatry, Together

Dual-board-certified care that treats substance use and mental health at the same time.

Least-pill, whole-person approach

Medication is a tool, not the destination. We pair it with skills, supports, and clear next steps.

Safe tapering when appropriate

If and when you’re ready, we listen to your goals and plan carefully. Never rushed, never one-size-fits-all.

How Care Works

Understand

A clear assessment of where you are today – meds, symptoms, goals.

Plan

A practical roadmap that may include medication, therapy skills, and supports.

Treat

Right-sized prescribing, careful monitoring, and steady coaching.

Review

We adjust together, because recovery is a path, not a switch.

Suboxone® Done Thoughtfully

Medication-assisted treatment saves lives. It can also be a bridge to deeper healing. When MAT is right, we use it. When tapering becomes appropriate, we do it carefully, with safety, stability, and your goals in front.
