Drug and alcohol testing for Bell

Bell is a compact, densely settled city in southeast Los Angeles County along the Los Angeles River and the I-710, with Maywood, Cudahy, Bell Gardens and Huntington Park as neighbors. It is close to downtown Los Angeles but a real trip from the Westside.

Getting to us from Bell

From Bell, the office is about 16 to 18 miles away. One common route is the I-710 south to the I-105 west, then the I-405 north to Venice Blvd. Another is surface streets north to the I-5 or I-10, then the I-10 west.

Your case may be handled at either, so check your paperwork or ask your attorney.

Testing options for Bell clients

What people in Bell 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 Bell

Mobile testing at home or work in Bell 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 Bell

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

• Families of adults and teens.
• Court and legal clients: probation, diversion, attorneys.

More support when testing is not enough

For people in Bell, the hardest part is often not the test but knowing what to do with the answer. When more help makes sense, the options include therapy and psychiatric care at Blackburn Clinical Services, one-on-one mentoring for accountability and structure at Blackburn Mentoring, sober living and sober apartments on the Westside through Blackburn Recovery Services, 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 Maywood and Bell Gardens.
