The crew cleans, checks, and walks the owner through what was done and what still needs attention.

No. Drug paraphernalia cleanup removes used items and cleans surfaces. A site where drugs were made is a different job with its own testing and clearance steps. If you think drugs were made in the home, say so when you call.
Loose syringes should never go in household trash, because they can stab sanitation workers. Other items may carry residue. A cleanup team seals and disposes of everything the safe way.
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.
The owner of the property usually pays at first. Lease terms and local law decide who is responsible in the end. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Keep any record the cleanup team gives you, since a landlord or insurer may ask for it.
Some residues can harm people who touch them, and you cannot tell by looking which ones. That is why gloves are not a substitute for professional cleanup. If skin touches something unknown, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
Ask about discreet arrival in an unmarked vehicle if privacy matters.
