Drug and alcohol testing for Lomita

Lomita is a small South Bay city between Torrance, Harbor City and the Palos Verdes Peninsula, with Pacific Coast Highway running through it. It has a quieter, small town feel, and most trips north start on the 405 or the 110.

Getting to us from Lomita

The office is roughly 18 miles north. Most people take the I-405 north and exit at Venice Blvd, heading west into Mar Vista. Some use the I-110 north and connect to the I-405. Outside rush hour, plan on about 35 to 60 minutes; traffic near LAX can add more.

By transit, the trip takes a couple of transfers. Check Metro’s trip planner for a route to Venice Blvd, where Metro bus line 33 runs past our office.

Testing options for Lomita clients

What people in Lomita 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 Lomita

Mobile testing at home or work in Lomita 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 Lomita

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

• Families of adults and teens.

South Bay families often call us after a hard conversation at home. We start with a phone call, not paperwork, and build from there.

More support when testing is not enough

Lomita families who reach out want straight answers, and a clear next step when the answer is hard. Your coordinator can make an introduction to Blackburn Clinical Services for therapy and psychiatric care, to Blackburn Recovery Services for sober living and sober apartments on the Westside, to Blackburn Mentoring for one-on-one mentoring for accountability and structure, or to The Blackburn Foundation for treatment scholarships. 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 Torrance and Rancho Palos Verdes.
