Drug and alcohol testing for Claremont

Claremont is at the far eastern edge of Los Angeles County, at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains next to Pomona, La Verne and Upland. It is a college town with tree lined streets, and it is a long way from the Westside, so planning ahead makes testing work.

Getting to us from Claremont

The drive is roughly 45 miles. Most people take the I-10 west the whole way, then the I-405 south a short distance to Venice Blvd. Outside rush hour, it can take about an hour; at peak times, it can be much longer, so build in a buffer.

By transit, Metrolink’s San Bernardino Line stops in Claremont on the way to Union Station. The Metro A Line now reaches Pomona, with a future extension toward Claremont planned. From downtown, take the Metro E Line to Culver City, then Metro bus line 33 west on Venice Blvd.

Courts and schools for Claremont

Claremont is in the Superior Court’s East District, which includes the courthouses in Pomona and West Covina. Your case may be handled at one of these; check your paperwork, and tell us the courthouse so reports go to the right people.

Public schools are part of the Claremont Unified School District. Families of college students and young adults also call us; our page on testing for young adults explains how consent and results work once someone is over 18.

Testing options for Claremont clients

Every Claremont client starts with a phone call and a short conversation about what you need. From there, most people fit one of four options.

• 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 Claremont

Mobile testing at home or work in Claremont 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 Claremont

Every Claremont client gets a real person, not an app, and results shared only with people they authorize in writing.

• 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.

For Claremont families, the distance is a real factor. A coordinator can help you choose a plan that is realistic, so testing stays consistent instead of slipping after a few weeks.

More support when testing is not enough

Claremont sits near the eastern edge of the county, and a single conversation with your coordinator can bring the rest of Blackburn closer. The rest of Blackburn includes 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, and your coordinator can connect you to any of them. Our get help page lists free and urgent options too.

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 Pomona and La Verne.
