Testing options for Whittier clients

Whether the request comes from a parent, a court, an employer or you, testing for Whittier 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.
