FACTS aBOUT Xylazine 

Xylazine is a non-opioid tranquilizer used by veterinarians. It's also linked to an increasing number of overdose deaths in Tennessee and across the nation. Xylazine is often mixed with other drugs, and people exposed to Xylazine often knowingly or unknowingly used it in combination with other drugs, particularly illicit Fentanyl.

Xylazine is not an opioid, so that means it doesn't respond to Naloxone, but you can and should still give Naloxone to a person you think has overdosed.
