Tranq Xylazine

Premier Tranquilizer Addiction Rehab

Tranquilizers such as Xylazine are non-opioid sedatives. Commonly referred to as “tranq” or “tranq dope” Xylazine is not a controlled substance in the United States however xylazine is not approved for use in people. Xylazine is often mixed with other street drugs including opioids. Naloxone (Narcan) which can reverse overdoses on opioids is ineffective against Xylazine making its consumption highly dangerous.
