At-home drug testing
in Pacific Palisades

The Palisades is a neighborhood of canyons and cul-de-sacs, and a drug test here depends more on the pin than on the street name. Sunset Boulevard winds through the Village, Pacific Coast Highway runs along the foot of the bluffs, and everything else, the Alphabet Streets, the Huntington, the Riviera, Marquez Knolls, Castellammare and the Highlands up Palisades Drive, branches off one of those two roads. When you book, place the pin on your actual entrance; the collector navigates to it, and you can message them in the app if the house is set back or the driveway is easy to miss.

Once they set off, their position updates live in the app. On arrival the private PIN on your screen is checked first, then the specimen is collected and all 14 panels are read in the house. If the order includes laboratory confirmation, the sealed specimen travels on to a CAP-accredited laboratory and measured levels come back in about 72 hours. Staying somewhere else in the Los Angeles area for now? Book that address instead: the visit goes wherever you enter, after the booking screen has checked it.

An address on Pacific Coast Highway itself is reached straight from the highway, where a driveway is easy to pass at speed; put the pin on the actual turn-in and mention any gate or parking area in the app. In Rustic Canyon and on the hillside streets of Castellammare the roads are narrow and parking is short, so the collector may walk the last stretch. If access to your street has changed, because of a new gate, a closure or construction next door, a message in the app once a collector is assigned covers it. Sunset Boulevard from the east and Pacific Coast Highway along the coast are the main ways in, and which to take is the collector's call. However they arrive, the specimen is sealed in a tamper-evident container, photographed, and signed for by the collector and the person tested before they leave 90272.
