Tip of the Week

Date rape drugs, part 2

It can be extremely difficult to realize that you have swallowed a date rape drug until it is too late. One of the first signs to look for is a feeling of being very drunk when you have not had much alcohol. Anytime you feel something is wrong, it is essential to act quickly. If you believe you may have been drugged, look for help immediately. Turn to a close friend, find a Campus Safety officer or ask the bartender for assistance if no one else is available. Get away as quickly and safely as you can, and seek out medical attention as soon as possible. Do not go home with anyone you suspect has put something in your drink. It is better to risk being a little rude and stay safe than to be alone with someone who might have drugged you.

Being drugged can be a very difficult thing to deal with physically and emotionally. Following an incident of date rape, a woman should receive immediate medical attention. As soon as you are able to, explain to Campus Safety what has happened so that they may inform the police. This can lead to many difficult questions for you to answer, but putting a drug into someone’s drink is a serious offense. The person who did it must face the consequences. Keep in mind that doing and saying nothing will leave this person free to perpetrate this crime with someone else. You may also contact the College’s SART Team, Student Health Services, Counseling Services and Chaplains’ Office for confidential advice and services.
