Drug and alcohol testing for Montebello

In short

Montebello is about 20 miles from Blackburn Monitoring at 12326 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, usually 35 to 60 minutes by car depending on traffic on the 60 and the 10. Testing is by appointment Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask.

Testing options for Montebello clients

Every Montebello 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 Montebello

Mobile testing at home or work in Montebello 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 Montebello

Every Montebello 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.

If you are calling for someone else, that is fine. A coordinator can explain how testing works so you can bring it up at home with real answers.

More support when testing is not enough

For Montebello families, a result is a starting point, not a verdict. 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. 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 Monterey Park and Pico Rivera.
