The initial dose of activated charcoal for an adult who has overdosed is typically 50-100 grams. This can be given as a slurry with water or administered through a nasogastric tube. The activated charcoal works by binding to the toxic substance in the GI tract to prevent absorption into the bloodstream.

Depending on the jurisdiction, the minor may be eligible for a transfer hearing to determine if they should be tried as an adult or remain in juvenile court. If tried as an adult, the case follows the adult criminal justice process, which can lead to more severe penalties than those typically faced in juvenile court.
