A barangay is considered drug-cleared after all of the known drug personalities in the area are already accounted for and were made to avail of intervention programs.

Drug-free barangays, on the other hand, are those that are no longer affected by illegal drugs based on the vetting and confirmation made by the ROCBDC.

In all, Central Visayas now has 1, 215 drug-cleared barangays and five drug-cleared municipalities.
