Unfortunately law enforcement is not required to provide you who was subject to being detained for a possible DUI violation with an opportunity for a third party breathalyzer test. As to blood or urine testing, such is ordinarily done by a licensed third party medical facility.
Given the circumstances that you have written about I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney for assistance.
