Drug and alcohol testing near Downey

In short

Blackburn Monitoring tests Downey residents by appointment at 12326 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, about 22 miles west. Choose one-time tests, a random program, ongoing monitoring or court ordered testing; mobile testing may be available in Downey, so call to ask.

Downey is a southeast county city framed by freeways: the I-5 crosses its north side, the I-605 runs along the east, the I-710 is just west, and the I-105 cuts through the south. Those routes make the drive to the Westside straightforward, with the usual Los Angeles caveat about traffic.

The Metro C Line’s Lakewood Blvd station is in Downey, along the I-105. The C Line heads west toward LAX, and connections from there reach the Westside. Use Metro’s trip planner for current transfers.

The Downey Courthouse

The Downey Courthouse, at 7500 East Imperial Hwy, is one of the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Southeast District courthouses, with Bellflower, Norwalk and Whittier. Your paperwork names the courthouse for your case. For court ordered testing, we provide chain of custody documentation when needed and share results only with people you authorize.

What we offer

Every test is by appointment, with a photo ID checked at intake. Fentanyl is included in testing, and partner laboratories confirm positives when a result will be relied on. Browse all test types or our services.

Mobile testing

Coming to us is not the only option. Mobile testing at home or work, for an additional fee, may be available in Downey; call to ask. If you need a time outside office hours, ask about other Blackburn locations on the Westside.
