If you have reason to believe you have been drugged and/or sexually assaulted: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. YOU HAVE A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME TO BE TESTED FOR THE PRESENCE OF DATE RAPE DRUGS.

After that time is gone, the drug residue will pass through your system and cannot be detected in blood or urine. Also, you may have injuries you are not aware of due to shock.

According to the experts at Project GBH, after you take care of yourself through medical attention, do the following:

If possible, keep some of the substance with you for testing.

1. Do not bathe or shower because your body is evidence.
2. Start remembering any details of the events including your attacker (hair color, facial hair, height/weight, clothing, skin color, scars and tatoos, etc.), any vehicle and its details (state, license plate, make, model, color, dents), location, or anything else, and write these down if possible
3. Get some counseling - Local Rape Crisis Centers are invaluable help.
4. Most importantly: Do not be afraid to seek help. In taking the first step to take care of yourself, both in body and mind, you are one step closer to getting back control of your life.
