After a drug overdose, how long until consciousness is regained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends - can die!: Drug overdoses don't just make someone sleep - they can stop the heart or stop breathing. If someone is unconscious from a drug overdose, call 911 right away, because they can easily stop breathing and die or suffer permanent brain damage. This is true for medication overdoses as well as overdose of street or party drugs.
