Pico Rivera students are served by the El Rancho Unified School District, and Rio Hondo College is nearby in Whittier. Families often ask whether testing a young person will damage trust. Our guide building trust with family in recovery covers how testing can rebuild it instead.

Testing options for Pico Rivera 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 Pico Rivera cases

Pico Rivera is in the Superior Court’s Southeast District. The Whittier Courthouse lists Pico Rivera in its service area, and some cases are heard at the Norwalk Courthouse, so 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.

Orders differ from case to case. For a Pico Rivera matter, confirm with your attorney or probation officer whether a particular vendor or format is needed, and read about court ordered drug testing.

Mobile testing in Pico Rivera

If testing during the workday is hard, ask about testing at home. 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?

For Pico Rivera families, testing often opens a door that was hard to open any other way. A positive result or a difficult month is a signal, not a dead end, and Blackburn can connect you to help that fits.
