Drug and alcohol testing for Cudahy

Cudahy is one of the smallest cities in Los Angeles County by land area, a little over one square mile, near Bell, South Gate and Huntington Park along the Los Angeles River. Most trips out of the city start on the I-710 or the surface streets that feed it.

Testing options for Cudahy clients

What people in Cudahy 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 Cudahy

Mobile testing at home or work in Cudahy 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 Cudahy

More support when testing is not enough

In a compact city like Cudahy, word travels fast, so a private next step after a result counts for a lot. 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.

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 Bell and South Gate.
