alcohol and drugs: when a person who is intoxicated may need immediate care

if you are with a person who is drunk or high, it's a good idea to seek medical help right away if:

  • the person may have an injury.
  • the person is hard to wake up or can't stay awake.
  • the person has vomited more than once and is not acting normal.
  • you're not comfortable taking care of the person, or you're not in an environment that is safe enough for you to take care of the person.
