About Sexual Assault > Drugs and Sexual AssaultWhat to Do

If you or a person you know might have been drugged without your knowledge and/or assaulted under the influence of Rohypnol, GHB, Ketamine, Sopolamine or any drug:

• Go to a safe place and get help immediately, call 911.
• Ask a trusted friend to stay with you and assist you in getting the services you need.
• Get medical care immediately. Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department as soon as possible for an examination and evidence collection.
• Rohypnol can be detected in the blood up to 4 hours after ingestion and in urine up to 48 hours after ingestion. GHB is normally not detectable in blood or urine after only 12 hours.
• Try not to urinate prior to providing urine samples. If possible, find cups or glasses from which you drank and/or a sample of the suspect beverage, and submit these to the police for laboratory tests.
• If you think you may have been sexually assaulted, you should have a specialized sexual assault examination. Preserve all physical evidence of the assault. If possible, do not shower, bathe, douche, eat, drink, wash your hands, or brush your teeth before you have a medical evaluation. Save the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault. Try not to disturb anything in the area where the assault occurred.
• Call a rape crisis center for support and information. You can contact RAINN at 1-800-656-HOPE and they will connect you to a rape crisis center in your area.
