Testing For Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault

If you think you might have been drugged and you have questions you can call the DC Rape Crisis Center for information or support at 202.333.RAPE. For a toll-free rape crisis hotline, call (800) 656-HOPE.

If you are not in a safe place, try to contact a trusted person, the police, or 911 for help in getting to a hospital.

If you think that you might want to report the assault to the police, first call the police, then go to the hospital.

Once you get to the hospital:

• Request a urine test as quickly as possible to detect the presence of sedating substances - every hour matters.
• If the urine tests results are to be used in court it is important that the urine sample be obtained at a hospital or through law enforcement.
