Recognizing a warning sign, supporting the person and knowing when to seek help. The CENTINELA® Protocol brings together practical guidance for those first moments before professional assistance.

Seven first-response actions

The guide organizes the first response into seven actions: recognize warning signs, protect, alert, accompany, preserve potential evidence, facilitate professional care and maintain continuity of support. It includes guidance for the public, friends and family, hospitality staff, event organizers and nonclinical first responders.

Origins and access

Developed by AGLAYA GLOBAL, the initiative grew out of a personal experience of spiking, three years of prevention work and consultation of protocols and recommendations published in different countries. The guide can be used without purchasing CENTINELA® products.

It is freely available in 56 language versions. AI-assisted translations are awaiting independent linguistic review. The Spanish edition has 15 pages and includes a technical annex with proposals for implementation and future evaluation.

Context matters

Disclosure of our own initiative: AGLAYA GLOBAL promotes this guide and the sumisionquimica.com and stopspiking.org portals. This is general guidance; it does not replace urgent care or applicable official protocols and does not imply official approval or institutional endorsement.
