Drug and alcohol testing for Burbank

Burbank sits in the southeast San Fernando Valley, between Glendale and the City of Los Angeles, and is home to Hollywood Burbank Airport and a large daytime workforce in media and entertainment. Long, unpredictable workdays are common, which is why scheduling matters as much as the test itself.

Getting to us from Burbank

The office is roughly 18 to 20 miles from central Burbank. The usual drive is CA-134 west to US-101, then the I-405 south through the Sepulveda Pass to the Venice Blvd exit. Expect about 35 to 60 minutes outside rush hour; the pass is often slower, so allow extra time.

By transit, Metrolink stops in Burbank on the way to Union Station. From downtown, take the Metro E Line to Culver City, then Metro bus line 33 west on Venice Blvd.

Burbank courts, schools and work

Burbank has its own courthouse on E. Olive Ave in the Superior Court’s North Central District, and Los Angeles County’s services locator lists it as serving Burbank. If your case is there, check your paperwork for the department, and we can provide chain of custody documentation when needed.

Public schools in the city are part of the Burbank Unified School District. For working adults, testing can support a non DOT return to work agreement, with results shared only with the people the employee authorizes in writing.

Testing options for Burbank clients

Whether the request comes from a parent, a court, an employer or you, testing for Burbank clients follows one of four paths.

• One-time test

  A single scheduled test when you need an answer now, such as a 12 panel urine drug test for common drug classes, with fentanyl testing included.

• Random testing program

  An electronic notice tells you when to test. See our random testing program.

• Ongoing monitoring

  A schedule set case by case, with one coordinator. See ongoing monitoring.

• Court ordered testing

  For a court, probation or an attorney, with chain of custody documentation when needed. See court ordered testing.

Alcohol can be checked with an EtG test for recent days or a breathalyzer for right now, and saliva testing is available on request. Bring a photo ID. Observed collection is used when required, and positives that will be acted on go to partner laboratories for confirmation. See all services.

Mobile testing near Burbank

Mobile testing at home or work in Burbank is offered for an additional fee and may be available in your area; call to ask. Outside office hours, other Blackburn locations on the Westside may help.

Who we help in Burbank

Burbank clients get plain answers, no judgment, and fast results to the people they approve in writing.

• Families of adults and teens.
• Court and legal clients: probation, diversion, attorneys.
• Licensed professionals such as doctors, nurses, lawyers and pilots.
• Treatment programs and clinicians, with client consent.

Production schedules rarely line up with a 9 to 5 office. Tell us your call times, and your coordinator will help find a testing pattern that holds up through long weeks.

More support when testing is not enough

Burbank work schedules are demanding, and when a result says more help is needed, the plan has to fit real life. Your coordinator can make an introduction to Blackburn Clinical Services for therapy and psychiatric care, to Blackburn Recovery Services for sober living and sober apartments on the Westside, to Blackburn Mentoring for one-on-one mentoring for accountability and structure, or to The Blackburn Foundation for treatment scholarships. Free and urgent options are listed on our get help page.

Testing is low cost; what you pay depends on the tests, frequency, mobile visits and any lab confirmation or reports. See all areas we serve, or nearby pages for Glendale and Pasadena.
