Which court handles a Maywood case
Your case may be handled at a courthouse in the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Southeast District, which includes Downey, Norwalk, Bellflower and Whittier, or at a courthouse in the Central District, depending on the matter. Check your paperwork. Our court ordered testing includes chain of custody documentation when needed.
Testing options for Maywood clients
- One-time tests. A single 12 panel urine drug test, a breathalyzer or an EtG alcohol test when you need an answer now. See one-time testing.
- Random testing program. You get a notice when it is your day to test, so nobody can plan around it. See the random drug testing program.
- Ongoing monitoring. A schedule set case by case with a monitoring coordinator who knows you and shares results only with people you authorize in writing. See drug and alcohol monitoring.
- Court ordered testing. Observed collection when required and chain of custody documentation when needed. See court ordered testing.
Screens cover common substances such as opioids, including fentanyl, stimulants, benzodiazepines and cannabis. Positives that will be acted on are confirmed by partner laboratories. Bring a photo ID and a list of your medications so results are read fairly.
Mobile testing
Mobile testing, where we come to your home or work for an additional fee, may be available in Maywood. Call to ask before you count on it. Outside our office hours, testing can sometimes be arranged at other Blackburn locations on the Westside.
