Drug and alcohol testing near Temple City

Temple City is a residential San Gabriel Valley city along Rosemead Blvd, between Arcadia and Rosemead. No freeway runs through it, and the I-210 and I-10 are each a short drive away. We do not have an office in Temple City, but we can build a plan that fits the drive.

Getting to us from Temple City

Most people take Rosemead Blvd south to the I-10 west, then continue to the Westside. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 40 to 55 minutes, and longer at peak times. Bus lines along Rosemead Blvd connect toward El Monte Station and the Metro J Line, but transit to Mar Vista takes several transfers.

Temple City and the courts

Temple City contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Cases from this area may be heard in the Superior Court’s East District, which includes El Monte, or the Northeast District, which includes Alhambra and Pasadena. Check your paperwork for the courthouse. We offer chain of custody documentation when needed.

Families in Temple City

Temple City Unified School District serves most of the city. We hear from parents of teens and of young adults living at home who want testing that is fair, consistent and handled by someone outside the family.

Testing options

Whether you need one test this week or a structure for the next year, Temple City clients choose from four options:

  • 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. Temple City 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.
