Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Navajo, NM

Is this medical or legal advice?

No. This page explains how drug paraphernalia cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney.

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.

Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?

It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.

What should I do if I find an unknown powder?

Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.

Can I clean up after a family member myself?

It is safer not to. You often cannot tell what an item or residue is, and hidden sharps are a risk. Do not mix cleaning products. A cleanup team has the protective gear and containers to do it safely, without judgment.

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.
