Drug and alcohol testing near Rancho Palos Verdes

In short

Blackburn Monitoring serves Rancho Palos Verdes residents from our office at 12326 Venice Blvd in Mar Vista, roughly 22 to 25 miles away depending on where you start on the peninsula. We offer private, low cost testing with a real coordinator and results shared only with people you authorize.

Rancho Palos Verdes covers much of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, with coastal bluffs, canyons and winding roads. We have no office on the peninsula. For families and professionals here, discretion usually matters most, and we build every plan around written consent.

Getting to us from Rancho Palos Verdes

Most people take Hawthorne Blvd or Crenshaw Blvd north to the I-405, then continue north to Venice Blvd. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 40 to 55 minutes. Parts of Palos Verdes Drive South have had ongoing closures and repairs because of land movement, so check road conditions before you leave.

Rancho Palos Verdes and the courts

Rancho Palos Verdes contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department through the Lomita Station. Cases from the peninsula are often heard at the Torrance Courthouse in the Superior Court’s Southwest District, but check your paperwork. We provide chain of custody documentation when needed.

Families and professionals

Most of Rancho Palos Verdes is served by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. We hear from parents of teens, families of college students home on break, and licensed professionals who need confidential monitoring.

Testing options

Every plan starts with a phone call and a real person. Here is what Rancho Palos Verdes clients can set up:

  • 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. Rancho Palos Verdes 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.

They can. Parts of Palos Verdes Drive South have had closures and repairs from land movement. Check conditions and call us if a closure makes you late.

Often the Torrance Courthouse in the Southwest District. Your court notice names the exact location.

Can a Rancho Palos Verdes family keep testing completely private?

Yes. We share results only with people the person being tested authorizes in writing, and nobody else is told.
