Tizanidine (brand name Zanaflex) is a muscle relaxant prescribed for conditions like multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. While not typically associated with traditional addiction, Tizanidine misuse—especially when combined with other sedatives or opioids—can lead to dangerous patterns and dependence. At Anchored Recovery Community in San Juan Capistrano, we offer holistic outpatient care for those misusing Tizanidine as part of a broader recovery plan.
Tizanidine affects the central nervous system, reducing muscle spasticity and often causing drowsiness and sedation. In some cases, individuals misuse it for its calming effects or to enhance other drugs. Over time, this can result in physical tolerance, emotional dependence, or harmful health risks such as low blood pressure, liver damage, or overdose.
Our outpatient programs support those looking to address Tizanidine misuse within the context of whole-person recovery:
If needed, we coordinate with detox partners to ensure safety before entering outpatient treatment.
