Drug and alcohol testing near Torrance

Torrance is one of the larger cities in the South Bay, running inland from the coast at Torrance Beach. The I-405 crosses the north part of the city, which is the main route to us.

Getting to us from Torrance

Take I-405 north to the Venice Blvd exit. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 25 to 35 minutes. Weekday rush hours on the 405 can stretch that well past an hour.

Torrance Transit buses connect with Metro service in the South Bay. From the K Line’s Redondo Beach station, ride the K Line to Expo/Crenshaw, the E Line to Culver City, and bus line 33 west on Venice Blvd. Check Metro’s trip planner.

The Torrance Courthouse

The Torrance Courthouse, at 825 Maple Ave, is part of the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Southwest District and serves much of the South Bay. Check your paperwork for your courthouse. Our court ordered testing includes observed collection when required and chain of custody documentation when needed.

Ways to test

• A single test. Book a one-time drug or alcohol test by appointment: urine, breath, EtG, or saliva on request.
• Random program. Unannounced test days, set up through our random drug testing program, for people who want results that carry weight.
• Ongoing monitoring. Regular testing over weeks or months, with one coordinator as your point of contact. Learn about ongoing monitoring.
• Court ordered. Testing for courts, probation and attorneys, with chain of custody paperwork and observed collection when the order calls for it. Read about court ordered testing.

Testing covers common drug classes, including fentanyl, plus alcohol. A positive screen that matters can be sent to partner laboratories for confirmation. Bring a photo ID, and tell us about prescriptions up front.

Mobile testing

We can sometimes send a tester to a home or workplace for an additional fee. Coverage in Torrance depends on the day and schedule, so mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask. Other Blackburn locations on the Westside can help outside office hours.

Who we help in Torrance

Families in the Torrance Unified School District, and students at nearby El Camino College, are among the people we help. We also work with licensed professionals, non DOT employers with return to work agreements, people meeting court terms, and clinicians in the South Bay.

More support

For Torrance families, a test is where the conversation begins, and help is ready when it needs to go further. If it shows that someone needs more, you do not have to start over with strangers. See more support beyond testing.
