At-home drug testing
in Burbank

Much of Burbank is single-family streets on a flat grid, and a drug test visit there is often a driveway and a front door. The ranch houses and bungalows between Victory Boulevard, Magnolia Boulevard and Hollywood Way, and around Magnolia Park, need nothing more than the pin you place when you book. Apartment and condominium buildings along Olive Avenue, Glenoaks Boulevard and near Downtown Burbank are different. Many have a callbox, a gated garage or a locked lobby door, so the collector needs a unit number and a way in, which you can send in the app once a collector is assigned. In the Rancho, where some lots along the Los Angeles River still keep horses, the house can sit well back behind a gate. Above Glenoaks, the foothill streets climb toward the Verdugo Mountains, with steep driveways and houses set above the road. There, place the pin on your actual entrance and mention the gate code or which door to use.

The 5 and the 134 both cross Burbank, and the route is the collector's to plan. You choose a 30-minute window between 7 AM and 7 PM, any day of the week, and can follow the collector live in the app once they set out. The earliest window is 3 hours after you book, and the booking screen checks your Burbank address against the live service area before you pay. At the door the collector, in plain clothes and with an unmarked vehicle parked outside, checks the private PIN on your screen. The urine specimen is temperature-checked, and all 14 panels, fentanyl and EtG included, are read before they drive off. Whichever test you chose, the specimen goes into a tamper-evident container that is sealed, photographed and signed by the collector and the person tested, under the order's chain-of-custody code. If the order includes laboratory confirmation, a CAP-accredited laboratory runs LC-MS/MS on the specimen and reports measured levels in about 72 hours. An At-Home Rapid Test can be upgraded in the app within 2 hours of collection.
