I just found a guy passed out

In my work parking lot. He’s in his early twenties at most. The hotel next door is a homeless shelter. He was passed out and had a box with different coloured pills on the ground beside him. He was breathing but I couldn’t wake him. I called 911. A worker from the hotel came over and was able to get the young guy to wake up and got him speaking. I told him I’m on the phone with 911 and they’re sending an ambulance. He started crying and begged me to cancel the ambulance. The worker said he’d take him back to the hotel and keep an eye on him and call 911 if needed. I was told they’d hold him for up to 3 days and make him detox.

I hope I made the right decision to cancel ambulance

This is my second time finding someone in this situation. The last one was only about 14 years old

Thank you for doing something and not leaving him

@Ghostinthemachine another “guest” at his hotel, a woman around the same age, walked by as I was calling 911. She said “get up JJ and stop being such an attention seeker”. I wanted to scream at her for being so insensitive
@Jenny1234 One time at a park we heard screaming for help. We ran over to the river. A woman had overdosed and her partner was in no shape to help her. We called 911 while my friend administered CPR. I believe she survived
