Drug and alcohol testing near Monrovia

Monrovia is a foothill city in the San Gabriel Valley, with a walkable Old Town, its own police department and a stop on the Metro A Line near the I-210. Our office is on the Westside, so Monrovia clients usually plan around the drive or ask about mobile testing.

Getting to us from Monrovia

From Monrovia, the office is about 30 to 35 miles away. A common route is the I-605 south to the I-10 west, then the I-405 south to the Venice Blvd exit. Outside rush hour, plan on about an hour; peak traffic can make it much longer.

Monrovia’s Metro A Line station connects to downtown Los Angeles and 7th St/Metro Center, where the E Line heads west toward Culver City. Buses on Venice Blvd continue to Mar Vista. It is a long ride, so check Metro’s trip planner first.

Monrovia schools and families

Monrovia students attend schools in the Monrovia Unified School District. When a family member comes home from treatment, the first months can be tense. A random testing plan after rehab gives everyone a clear structure and something objective to point to.

Testing options for Monrovia 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 Monrovia cases

Monrovia is in the Superior Court’s Northeast District, and cases from Monrovia have typically been heard at the Pasadena Courthouse. Check your paperwork for the courthouse and department on your case. If a court, probation officer or attorney requires testing, we provide court ordered testing with chain of custody documentation when needed.

Some orders name a vendor or a format. If yours came from a Monrovia case, confirm the details with your attorney or probation officer first, then see court ordered drug testing.

Mobile testing in Monrovia

A random program only works if you can test on the day you are notified. 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.

Who we help in Monrovia

We help Monrovia families of adults and teens, people in recovery who want accountability, licensed professionals such as doctors, nurses, lawyers and pilots, and non DOT employers with return to work agreements.

Clinicians and treatment programs can also refer clients, and with written consent we send results quickly to the people you choose and no one else. Nearby, we also serve Arcadia and Duarte; see every area we serve.

Need more than testing?

Monrovia families sometimes reach the point where a test is not enough on its own. Testing is where many people start, not where they finish, and your coordinator can help with the next step when it is time.
