Drug Emergencies
Always call 999. This could be for a physical or mental health emergency. The emergency services, including police, have a priority for preserving life. In an emergency situation:
- Call 999 (or 112 internationally)
- Be honest about what you think the person has taken, how much and when
- Stay with the casualty until help arrives
