Getting to us from Rosemead

Most people take the I-10 west across Los Angeles, then exit near the I-405 for Venice Blvd. Outside rush hour, plan on roughly 35 to 50 minutes. The I-10 through downtown is slow at peak times, so midday appointments are usually easiest. The Metro J Line runs from El Monte Station along the I-10 toward downtown, but reaching Mar Vista takes several transfers.

Rosemead and the courts

Rosemead contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Cases from this area may be heard in the Superior Court’s East District, which includes the El Monte Courthouse, or in the Northeast District, which includes Alhambra. Check your paperwork for your courthouse. We offer chain of custody documentation when needed.

Families in Rosemead

Younger students in Rosemead attend the Rosemead School District or the Garvey School District, and the city’s public high school is part of the El Monte Union High School District. Parents can call us first to understand the options before talking with a teen.

Testing options

Whether you need one test this week or a structure for the next year, Rosemead clients choose from four options:

  • One-time testing. A single scheduled test when you need an answer now.
  • Random testing program. You are notified when to report, so tests cannot be planned around. See our random drug testing program.
  • Ongoing monitoring. A coordinator who knows you, a schedule that can change as things improve, and results shared only with people you authorize in writing. Learn about drug and alcohol monitoring.
  • Court ordered testing. Court ordered testing with chain of custody documentation when it is needed.

Tests include a 12 panel urine drug test that covers common substances such as opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines and cannabis, fentanyl testing, an EtG alcohol test, a breathalyzer, and saliva testing on request. Positives that will be acted on are confirmed by partner laboratories. Bring a photo ID to intake. Observed collection is used when a court, program or agreement requires it. Compare everything on our services page.

Mobile testing

Mobile testing at a home or workplace is offered for an additional fee. Rosemead is a long way from our Westside office, so mobile testing may be available in your area; call to ask before you plan around it. Outside office hours, testing can also be arranged at other Blackburn locations on the Westside.

More support when you need it

For Rosemead families, a test result is the start of a plan, not the end of the conversation. If what you learn calls for more help, your coordinator can point you to it.
