A Treatment Center Can Help with Short Term Side Effects of Suboxone

• Body aches
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Sweating
• Constipation
• Dizziness

• Depression
• Swelling, due to an allergic reaction
• Anxiety
• Dark or tea colored urine
• Light-colored bowel movements

Long-Term Side Effects of Suboxone That a Treatment Center Can Help You Avoid

A treatment center can help you avoid the long term damage that Suboxone causes by identifying and treating early symptoms before they become a problem. These long term dangers are:
