Here is the scenario, you suspect your son or daughter is using drugs, they deny it and you want to be sure.  The best way to confirm illicit drug use is to obtain private testing to determine whether your loved one is abusing drugs.  You don’t necessarily want to get the authorities involved and subject him or her to prosecution in criminal court so private testing by a reputable lab is the best course of action.

Many times folks want to get a private drug screen to test for illegal drugs. The reasons may be a pending Court case for criminal charges, DUI or for prospective employment. In some cases it may be a good idea to conduct private drug testing ahead of a Court date to show the Judge or District Attorney that the accused is drug free and more amenable to a favorable resolution of the charges.

Many companies will do the testing and the costs vary but here are two places in the Torrance area that can perform a private test to determine if drugs are present in a persons body:
