What to do if you think you have been drugged:
- Get medical care immediately. Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department as soon as possible for a medical examination and evidence collection. Many of these drugs stay in the system for only a short time and cannot be detected after six to eight hours.
- Request that the hospital take a urine sample for testing. Special tests must be conducted to detect the drugs in a urine specimen.
- Call the police.
- Call ISU’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Survivor Services Coordinator at 438-7948 or 438-2778.
