Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, if she is trying to get over the habit of drugs or wanting to clear them out so standard protocol is to seek psychiatrist review and to get referred to addiction clinics that can run toxicology screens to look for different drug levels.

Some may need antidotes, some need replacement and withdrawal methods, some need directly observed therapy sessions, some need group therapies.

Trying it at own with no proper consultation may cause such incidences like the one happened to her.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
