Drug and alcohol testing for San Gabriel

San Gabriel is a historic city in the west San Gabriel Valley, home to the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel and surrounded by Alhambra, San Marino, Temple City and Rosemead. It is a short hop to the I-10, which makes it one of the more direct valley cities to reach us from.

Getting to us from San Gabriel

The office is roughly 22 miles away. Most people head south to the I-10, take it west across downtown, then the I-405 south a short way to Venice Blvd. Outside rush hour, plan on about 40 to 65 minutes; downtown traffic can add more.

By transit, Metro buses connect San Gabriel with the A Line and downtown Los Angeles. From downtown, take the Metro E Line to Culver City, then Metro bus line 33 west on Venice Blvd.

Courts and schools for San Gabriel

Los Angeles County’s services locator lists San Gabriel among the areas served by the Alhambra Courthouse at 150 W. Commonwealth Ave in the Superior Court’s Northeast District. Check your paperwork to confirm, and tell us who should receive reports.

Most of the city’s public schools are part of the San Gabriel Unified School District. Parents can use our family testing agreement tool to agree on the rules first.

Testing options for San Gabriel clients

What people in San Gabriel need from testing varies a lot, so we build the plan around the reason you are calling. These are the four ways it usually starts.

• 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 San Gabriel

Mobile testing at home or work in San Gabriel 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 San Gabriel

People from San Gabriel get a monitoring coordinator who knows them, not a kiosk.

• 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.

We can explain testing to every family member who will be involved, so everyone hears the same plan from the same person.

More support when testing is not enough

San Gabriel families who get a hard answer do not have to figure out what comes next on their own. Your coordinator can connect you to therapy and psychiatric care at Blackburn Clinical Services, sober living and sober apartments on the Westside through Blackburn Recovery Services, one-on-one mentoring for accountability and structure at Blackburn Mentoring, and treatment scholarships through The Blackburn Foundation. For free and urgent options, see 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 Alhambra and San Marino.
