Alcohol Testing Services We Provide

When you search for an alcohol testing center in Long Beach, you want to know whether one location can handle the specific test that was requested. At Fastest Labs of Gateway Cities, we offer several types of alcohol testing and explain each in plain language, so you feel confident about which service matches your instructions before you arrive.

Breath Alcohol Testing

Breath alcohol testing is a common option for on-the-spot checks, workplace policies, and certain court or probation programs. A certified breath alcohol technician guides you through the process using an approved device that measures alcohol concentration in your breath. The test is quick, and a printed result is typically available shortly after. This method is often used when immediate information is what’s needed.

EtG / EtS Urine Alcohol Testing

Urine-based alcohol screening is available for programs or employers that request it. Depending on the test ordered, EtG / EtS urine alcohol testing detects ethyl glucuronide (EtG) or ethyl sulfate (EtS), alcohol metabolite markers that remain detectable well beyond the window of breath testing. Many monitoring programs rely on this method for ongoing compliance checks. Our team explains how long your visit will take and what identification or paperwork to bring.

Saliva Alcohol Testing

Saliva alcohol testing offers a fast, non-invasive way to detect recent alcohol use and is often used for workplace programs and point-of-care situations. It can typically detect alcohol use within approximately 12 to 24 hours after ingestion. Our staff explains when this method fits your instructions and what to expect during collection.

Long-Term Alcohol Testing Methods

For clients who need a broader look at alcohol use history, we offer EtG hair alcohol testing and nail alcohol testing, with detection windows that can extend to 90 days. These methods are common in custody evaluations, return-to-duty programs, and court-ordered abstinence monitoring.

What Our Alcohol Tests Support

We handle pre-employment screening, post-accident testing, return-to-duty testing, and scheduled random testing programs. We also offer drug testing for many of the same programs. Other clients come in for court-ordered requirements or need proof of abstinence for a custody or family law matter. Whether you need a single visit or a longer-term testing plan, our alcohol testing center is set up to support whatever timeline your situation demands.

How Our Alcohol Testing Process Works

When you’re already dealing with pressure from a court, employer, or program, not knowing what to expect can make things harder. At Fastest Labs of Gateway Cities, we walk you through each step from the first phone call through result delivery. Our goal is to make the process clear so there are no surprises.

Fast & Friendly Check-In

When you arrive, present your photo ID and any paperwork from a court, probation officer, employer, or program. Our staff confirms the test type discussed on the phone and answers any last-minute questions. We aim to begin testing quickly after check-in and keep the waiting area comfortable and professional.

Private Sample Collection

A trained technician guides you through each step of collection. For breath alcohol testing, you’re shown how to use the device and given time to ask questions. For urine-based or saliva-based screening, we follow standard procedures designed to protect both accuracy and privacy. We communicate clearly and treat every person with respect.

Processing & Results

We explain typical result timelines before you commit to a test, so you can plan around court dates, work shifts, or check-ins with supervising officers. In many situations, results are available shortly after your visit. Lab-based tests may take longer. When results are ready, we provide them directly to you, and with your authorization, we can send copies to attorneys, employers, probation departments, or program coordinators. We discuss delivery options during your visit so you control how your information is shared.

To make your visit easier, please bring:

• A valid photo ID that matches the name on your paperwork
• Any written orders or forms from a court, probation office, employer, or program
• Contact details for anyone who should receive your results, if you want us to send them
• Information about upcoming deadlines, such as hearing dates or job start dates
