Drug and alcohol testing near Lynwood

Lynwood is a city in south Los Angeles County where the I-105 and I-710 meet, between South Gate, Compton and Paramount. The I-105 runs west from Lynwood toward the LAX area, which makes the trip to our Mar Vista office fairly direct outside rush hour.

Getting to us from Lynwood

From Lynwood, our office is about 17 miles away. Most drivers take the I-105 west to the I-405 north and exit at Venice Blvd. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 30 to 40 minutes; the 405 can add a lot at peak times.

The Metro C Line runs along the I-105 with a station at Long Beach Blvd in the Lynwood area, and the A Line crosses it at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks. Rail and bus connections reach the Westside, but the trip involves transfers, so check Metro’s trip planner.

Lynwood schools and families

Lynwood students are served by the Lynwood Unified School District. Families who reach out are often worried about a teen or an adult child, and they want facts without a fight. Testing with a neutral coordinator, results shared with consent, and a plan for what happens next can help. See our families page.

Testing options for Lynwood clients

• One-time tests. A single drug or alcohol test by appointment, when you need an answer now.
• Random testing program. An electronic notice tells you when to test, so results mean something. See our random drug testing program.
• Ongoing monitoring. A schedule set case by case with a monitoring coordinator who knows you. Learn about drug and alcohol monitoring.
• Court ordered testing. Testing for courts, probation, attorneys and diversion, with chain of custody documentation when needed.

Tests include a 12 panel urine drug test that screens for common substances such as opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines and cannabis, testing for fentanyl, a breathalyzer, an EtG alcohol test and saliva testing on request. Bring a photo ID to your first visit. Collection is observed when a court or program requires it, and positives that will be acted on go to partner laboratories for confirmation. See all services.

Court ordered testing for Lynwood cases

Lynwood is served by the Superior Court’s Compton Courthouse, which lists Lynwood among the cities it covers. Your case may still be assigned elsewhere, so check your paperwork. If a court, probation officer or attorney requires testing, we provide court ordered testing with chain of custody documentation when needed.

Before your first test, check with your attorney or probation officer whether the order in your Lynwood matter requires a particular vendor or format. Our page on court ordered drug testing explains the rest.

Mobile testing in Lynwood

If time off work is hard to get, ask about testing at home. Mobile testing at home or work is offered for an additional fee, and mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask. Office testing runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, by appointment only, and outside those hours testing can be arranged at other Blackburn locations on the Westside.

Who we help in Lynwood

We help Lynwood families of adults and teens, people in recovery who want accountability, licensed professionals in monitoring programs, clinicians who refer clients, and non DOT employers.

Clinicians and treatment programs can also refer clients, and with written consent we send results quickly to the people you choose and no one else. Nearby, we also serve South Gate and Compton; see every area we serve.

Need more than testing?

For Lynwood families, a test is a tool for honesty, and what comes after it matters as much as the result. When a result or a hard week shows that more help is needed, Blackburn can connect you to it.
