Drug and alcohol testing for Sierra Madre

Sierra Madre is a small foothill city tucked against the San Gabriel Mountains between Pasadena and Arcadia, with a walkable village downtown and quiet residential streets. The I-210 runs along its southern edge and is the start of most trips out.

Getting to us from Sierra Madre

The office is roughly 28 miles away. Most drivers take the I-210 west to CA-134, then US-101 to the I-405 south and the Venice Blvd exit. Another option is heading south to the I-10 and taking it west. Plan on about 45 to 75 minutes outside rush hour.

By transit, the Metro A Line’s Sierra Madre Villa station in east Pasadena connects to downtown Los Angeles. From downtown, take the Metro E Line to Culver City, then Metro bus line 33 west on Venice Blvd.

Testing options for Sierra Madre clients

Whether the request comes from a parent, a court, an employer or you, testing for Sierra Madre clients follows one of four paths.

• 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 Sierra Madre

Mobile testing at home or work in Sierra Madre 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.

More support when testing is not enough

Sierra Madre is a small foothill city, and families here can take the next step after a result privately. When more help makes sense, the options include therapy and psychiatric care at Blackburn Clinical Services, one-on-one mentoring for accountability and structure at Blackburn Mentoring, sober living and sober apartments on the Westside through Blackburn Recovery Services, and treatment scholarships through The Blackburn Foundation. Free and urgent options are listed on 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 Arcadia and Pasadena.
