Drug and alcohol testing near Irwindale

Irwindale is a small San Gabriel Valley city along the I-605 and I-210, known more for its industrial and commercial areas than its size. Many people who connect to Irwindale work there rather than live there, so employer and return to work testing comes up often.

Getting to us from Irwindale

From Irwindale, our office is about 30 to 35 miles away. Most drivers take the I-605 south to the I-10 west, then the I-405 south to the Venice Blvd exit. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 45 minutes to an hour; peak traffic can double that.

Irwindale has its own Metro A Line station. The A Line runs through downtown Los Angeles to 7th St/Metro Center, where you can transfer to the E Line west and then take a Venice Blvd bus to Mar Vista. Plan for a long ride.

For Irwindale employers and workers

Employers in Irwindale sometimes need non DOT testing, such as a return to work agreement after an employee completes treatment. We set up scheduled or random testing with one point of contact, and results go only to the people the employee authorizes in writing. We do not perform DOT regulated testing. The city’s resource directory lists Azusa, Baldwin Park and Covina-Valley unified school districts for local families. See who we help.

Testing options for Irwindale clients

• One-time tests. A single drug or alcohol test by appointment, when you need an answer now.
• Random testing program. An electronic notice tells you when to test, so results mean something. See our random drug testing program.
• Ongoing monitoring. A schedule set case by case with a monitoring coordinator who knows you. Learn about drug and alcohol monitoring.
• Court ordered testing. Testing for courts, probation, attorneys and diversion, with chain of custody documentation when needed.

Tests include a 12 panel urine drug test that screens for common substances such as opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines and cannabis, testing for fentanyl, a breathalyzer, an EtG alcohol test and saliva testing on request. Bring a photo ID to your first visit. Collection is observed when a court or program requires it, and positives that will be acted on go to partner laboratories for confirmation. See all services.

Court ordered testing for Irwindale cases

Irwindale is in the San Gabriel Valley, and your case may be handled at a courthouse in the East District, such as West Covina or El Monte; check your paperwork for the courthouse and department. If a court, probation officer or attorney requires testing, we provide court ordered testing with chain of custody documentation when needed.

A quick check saves trouble later: before testing for a Irwindale case, ask your attorney or probation officer whether a specific vendor or format is required. More on court ordered drug testing.

Mobile testing in Irwindale

Testing at a worksite can keep an employee on the job instead of on the freeway. Mobile testing at home or work is offered for an additional fee, and mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask. Office testing runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, by appointment only, and outside those hours testing can be arranged at other Blackburn locations on the Westside.

Need more than testing?
