Drug and alcohol testing near Bell Gardens

Bell Gardens is a compact city in southeast Los Angeles County, bordered by the I-710 and the Rio Hondo. We do not have an office there. We offer affordable testing, clear communication, and a referral path to more support when testing shows it is needed.

Getting to us from Bell Gardens

The office is roughly 18 miles away. The usual routes are the I-710 north to the I-10 west, or the I-105 west to the I-405 north. Outside rush hour, plan on about 35 to 50 minutes, and allow much more on weekday mornings. By transit the trip is long, with several transfers, so check Metro’s trip planner before you rely on it.

Bell Gardens and the courts

Bell Gardens has its own police department. Cases from this part of the county are often heard at a courthouse in the Superior Court’s Southeast District, such as the Downey Courthouse, but your case may be assigned elsewhere, so check your paperwork. If a judge, probation officer or attorney requires testing, we can document chain of custody when needed and send results only to the people you authorize.

Families in Bell Gardens

Most Bell Gardens students attend schools in the Montebello Unified School District. When a parent is worried about a teenager or an adult child, a neutral third party can take the testing out of the family argument. We talk with parents first, and we explain what a result can and cannot tell you.

Testing options

There is no one size plan. People from Bell Gardens usually start with one of these:

• One-time testing. A single scheduled test when you need an answer now.
• Random testing program. You are notified when to report, so tests cannot be planned around. See our random drug testing program.
• Ongoing monitoring. A coordinator who knows you, a schedule that can change as things improve, and results shared only with people you authorize in writing. Learn about drug and alcohol monitoring.
• Court ordered testing. Court ordered testing with chain of custody documentation when it is needed.

Tests include a 12 panel urine drug test that covers common substances such as opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines and cannabis, fentanyl testing, an EtG alcohol test, a breathalyzer, and saliva testing on request. Positives that will be acted on are confirmed by partner laboratories. Bring a photo ID to intake. Observed collection is used when a court, program or agreement requires it. Compare everything on our services page.

Mobile testing

Mobile testing at a home or workplace is offered for an additional fee. Bell Gardens is a long way from our Westside office, so mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask before you plan around it. Outside office hours, testing can also be arranged at other Blackburn locations on the Westside.
