frequently asked questions
How do you help patients struggling with addiction besides prescribing medication?
Medication is often most effective when paired with structured support. Dr. Gelber routinely recommends adjunctive treatment through recovery programs, specialized addiction therapists, or residential rehabilitation facilities.
Do you offer Suboxone (buprenorphine) treatment via telehealth?
Yes, Dr. Gelber prescribes opioid partial agonist medications (such as Suboxone/buprenorphine) for both initial detox and long-term maintenance treatment of opioid use disorder, in accordance with state and federal regulations across MD, VA, NY, and MA.
What happens after I achieve sobriety?
Achieving sobriety is the first step; maintaining it requires addressing root causes. Dr. Gelber treats underlying psychiatric co-occurring conditions that frequently drive addiction, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma.
