Common Questions About Cleaning Up After Drug Use in Columbus

What should I do if someone is unresponsive?

Call 911 right away. Cleanup can wait. After the emergency is over and the space is released, a cleanup team can handle the items and residue left behind.

What if children or pets live in the home?

Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.

Do cleanup teams test for drugs?

Standard paraphernalia cleanup is about removal, cleaning and disinfection. Testing is a separate step, usually tied to a site where drugs were made. Ask the team and the local health department what testing, if any, applies to your property.

Can a landlord order paraphernalia cleanup?

Yes. A property owner can call a cleanup team to clear and clean a unit after a tenant leaves. Lease terms and local law decide who pays. Keep photos and records, and ask the team what documentation it can provide.

What about drug use in a vehicle?

Vehicles can hold syringes, residue and odor in seats, carpets and vents. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated. Crews use the same protective gear and sealed containers as in a building.

Who cleans up after a police drug raid?

Police and the city do not usually clean the space afterward. The owner or the family books the cleanup once the scene is released. A cleanup team can work after the release and explain the steps. Ask the agency when the space is cleared.
