The following chart gives approximate detection periods for each substance by test type. Data for urinalysis are reproduced from LabCorp’s .
The ranges depend on amount and frequency of use, metabolic rate, body mass, age, overall health, and urine pH. For ease of use, the detection times of metabolites have been incorporated into each parent drug. For example, heroin and cocaine can only be detected for a few hours after use, but their metabolites can be detected for several days in urine. In this type of situation, we will report the detection times of the metabolites.
Drug Detection Periods
| Substance | Urine | Hair | Blood |
| Alcohol | 3-5 days via Ethyl Gluconoride (EtG) metabolite or 10-12 hours via traditional method | 12 hours | |
| Amphetamines (except meth) | 1 to 2 days | up to 90 days | 12 hours |
| Barbiturates (except phenobarbital) | 2 to 3 days | up to 90 days | 1 to 2 days |
| Benzodiazepines | Therapeutic use: 3 days. Chronic use (over one year): 4 to 6 weeks | up to 90 days | 6 to 48 hours |
| Cannabis |
|
up to 90 days | 2 days |
| Cocaine | 2 to 4 days | up to 90 days | 24 hours |
| Codeine | 2 days | up to 90 days | 12 hours |
| Cotinine | 2 to 4 days | up to 90 days | 2 to 4 days |
| Heroin | 2 days | up to 90 days | 6 hours |
| LSD | 2 to 24 hours | Up to 3 days | 0 to 3 hours |
| Methamphetamine | 1 to 2 days | up to 90 days | 24 hours |
| Morphine | 2 days | up to 90 days | 6 hours |
| Methadone | 3 days | Up to 30 days | 24 hours |
| PCP | 14 days; up to 30 days in chronic users | up to 90 days | 24 hours |
| Phenobarbital | 7 to 14 days | up to 90 days | 4 to 7 days |
* Oral fluid or saliva testing results for the most part mimic that of blood. The only exception is THC. Oral fluid will likely detect THC from ingestion up to a maximum period of 18–24 hours.
* Urine can not detect current drug use. It takes approximately 6–8 hrs. post-consumption for drug to be metabolized and excreted in urine. Similarly, hair requires two weeks, and sweat, seven days.

Will you show positive for a Drug Test? Can second hand marijuana smoke show up in a Drug Test? These are a few commonly asked questions
Does marijuana drugs show up in the blood test or urine test? The result came up after 3-4 days and the urine was very little.
If someone took 3 xanaxs on Monday, but they dont take they often how long will it take for it to get out of your system, I took a drug test today will they show up?
If I took a hydrocodone-APAP 750 mg. today at 3:30pm and took a urin test today at 4:30pm will they it show up

for how long can yaba be detected in urine tests after it has been taken?
how long does alcohol stay in your urine
3-5 days
how long will vyvanse show up on a drug screen
Hi:
Can you suggest a book or web-site that has the following information?
You say the amount and frequency of use: single, isolated, small doses are generally detectable at the lower boundary. Chronic and long-term use typically result in detection periods near or at the upper boundary.
What are the boundries (quants) for:
1. Alcohol
2. Amphetamines
3. Methamphetamine
4. Barbiturates
5. Phenobarbital
6. Benzodiazepines
7. Cannabis
8. Cocaine
9. Codeine
10. Cotinine
11. Heroin
12. LSD
13. Morphine
14. Methadone
15. PCP
I appreciate your supplying this information to me, and any scale of boundry, like “quants: 1 to 100″ that will give me some idea of tolerance and chronic usage; for example, if a person has a quant of 64 for cannabis on a urine test, does this tend to support mild use or heavy use, long term use . . . ?
Thankyou,
Charles Rivenbark

This has been the most helpful site so far, but my question is for a heavy user of hydrocodone for 4 to 5 years eating minimum of 15 pill daily, how long would that stay detectable in her system for a over the counter drug test? She says she last slipped in May of 2008 but she failed my drug test this Saturday July the 5th. My daughter says it was from the long term usage. How do I find out the truth?
Thanks
Franco
if your urine is bought to a lab for a drug screen for a job how long will cocaine stay in your system?
Hi Franco,
>question is for a heavy user of hydrocodone
Tested for in Standard Drug Tests? NO
Tested for in Extended Drug Tests? SOMETIMES
Detection Period in Urine 3-4 days
Hydrocodone may not cause a positive result in a standard opiate urine test. Many opiate tests test only for morphine (which both codeine and heroin break down into). This is true for both home/business kits and laboratory testing. Hydrocodone does not break down into morphine, and is therefore not detected by these tests.
But home and laboratory testing is available that will detect hydrocodone (and hydromorphone, which it breaks down into). So test results will depend on the particular type of test that is used and whether or not laboratory verification is required. If a home drug test is given and the opiate test shows a positive result (due to hydromorphone use), a laboratory verification might NOT result in a positive test because the lab may only test for morphine. In this case, the lab would NOT be able to verify the original positive result.

If my husband took 1-2 percosets a day up until sunday last week and was 5 panel drug tested yesterday will he test positive for opiates?
The only way to be sure if you will test clean is to test your self before you go to the employers test. This can be done easy with an instant drug test.
If i took 2 500 mgs hydrocodine pills today how long will it stay in my system
what a about cotinine? How long does it stay in the body? How long a one isolated cigarrette test positive for cotinine?
If one 30 mg tab vyvanse was taken on Monday and you need to have a drug screen on Wed. will that show up?
if i was clean and smoke pcp 1 time will i be clean after 23 days?
1+ pack of smokes per day for 5 years. 14 days after quitting-cold turkey with 1 cigarette smoked on day 2 = negative cotinine test for me. From all I have read, 4 days after quitting smoking should equal a negative cotinine test; however, a genetic flaw in some people could fudge the results and make a positive test for a longer period of time. I do know someone who smoked the same as me and tested negative after 4 days smoke free and lots of water. Hope this helps someone.
Yes, Vyvanse will show up as an amphetamine. I took a Xanax and it was still in my system two weeks after taking it and it shows on a drug test as a benzodiazepine

My friend told me this drink contained bull sperm and that the reason i was sick was because i was developing “wings”.

I need to know for my kids sake. She better not be.doing stuff like that.!
how long does it take for nicotain and cotinine to leave your urine/kidneys
First of all–you’re dates on how long drugs stay in your system are incorrect. It can take up to 4-5 days for methamphetamines to get out of your system EVEN if you are not a heavy user. If you do a 1.5grams in one day, you could still be positive in 4-5 days. I know this because it happened to me
Also- if you are a heavy user of opiates, you might as well increase your day by one.
Really it depends on the state of your metabolism though. If you are a fat lazy sonofabitch you will most likely not metabolize teh drugs through your kidneys/liver as easily as someone who is younger and active and weighs less.
Dont listen to the asinine advice that websites like this give you. Better yet–don’t do drugs for a week before any test, or just don’t do them period. If you are on probation (which I am, and have been for a long time) just dont do them at all. You will eventually get caught, and jail and prison is no fun. Go back to school, get a job, or get a hobby.
If you want realiable information on such topics only got to .gov; .edu websites or look up actual medical journals. Websites like this land people in jail or without jobs.
Also–if someone like your kid tells you that they are testing positive because a drug like an opiate is still in their system from months ago DONT LISTEN TO THEM THEY ARE LYING. There is no way an opiate would stay in your system for more than 5 days TOPS. It’s not marijuana, and it’s half-life is not long enough to keep it in your system that long. Dont be stupid if someone tells you such nonsense. They are lying.
Hi everybody, to pass any drug test you need a detox drink. Iv been on probation for 7 years and am a chronic xanex and heroin user. iv never failed a test. my secret is alot of water and vale x4 strength detox drink. Search for it online or your nearest head/pipe shop. they should have it. you must drink a shiv load of water prior, dont take any illegal/un prescribed drug 12 hours prior and dont eat anything at least 8 hours before the test. after a full gullet and several pisses, consume the entire drink and fast! then fifteen min later fill the bottle w/ water and slam that in your belly. dont drink anything after that. you must time test perfectly to take three pisses prior to the test in a two hour time frame. so 4th piss at the two hour mark is prime for the test. use the middle of your stream cause begginin and end are dirtiest parts. if you abide these simple instructions youwill not fail.
Sorry- *tp pass any urine analysis drug test*
Bezoes-xanex, klonopin, valium etc
stay in system up to two weeks
cocaine- stay in system up to 5 days
amphetamines- meth, aderral, ritalin, bath salts etc
stay in system 3-7 days
thc/marijuana-stays in system 2-4 weeks
opiates-opana,dilloted, heroine, oxycodone/oxycontin/percocet, vicodoin, morphine etc
stays in system 3-6 days
barbituates-sleeping pills
stays in system 5-12 days
alchohol- necture of the gods
stays in system 24-32 hours
lsd/ACID!!! and psilocybin-mushies
stays in system 6-24 hours but cant show on urine analysis plus really expensive blood or hair test(unlikrly to be tested)
DMT- window to the gods
leaves system within six hours but also naturly produced so technically never leaves and cant be tested
PCP- stays in system 3-6 weeks
All these stats must be taken into consideration of fat content of body, metabolism, age, and usage. ex if you weigh 250 lb., are 42 years old and are smoking an eighth of chronic marijuana on top of a perscription of oxycodone odds are you will be testing hot for the longer end of the spectrum. If you are a seventeen year oild with barely any body fat, have a super fast metabolism, weigh 125 lb and have mostly muscle, odds are that hit of marijuana you just hit for the first time in your life last night will be out of your system in a week and a half.
Ud be surprised how fast opiates can leave ur system..i kno people who snortd 4 30mg roxis n pissd clean the mext day jus from drinkn water.

Question,
If I take two doses (tabs) of LSD on saturday evening (6 p.m) and have a potential urinalysis monday at 7 a.m. Will I test positive?
Are there any ways to flush LSD from your urine within that time period that would produce clean urine at test time?
Please help!
Thanks.
that 3 days for methadone to leave ur system is total bullshit. i used methadone 5 days ago when i was still in prison and i reported to my state parole officer for the first time this go ’round and i failed that shit miserably. i am 5’7 , 172 lbs. and im physically fit with a high metabolism. Yeah,explain that one. i’ve only been out 2 days and i had to pull some Stephen Hawking type shit to talk myself out of going back to prison already. It’s a damn good thing that i have the gift of gab and im a pretty intelligent person cuz i would be in a cell right now thanks to me going by the info on this site. No tolerance, no habit, i just used 20mg ONE TIME and that shit was still lighting that test up to the max after 5 days. My suggestion to anybody in the same situation is to fake that shit and use some clean piss cuz your booked. Or even better, DONT DO IT AT ALL. Just thought i’d post this valuable information cuz i know addiction all too well and we don’t do well on parole/probation. Getting sent back to prison for relapsing is like locking someone up cuz their cancer came out of remission…BE SAFE …ITS NOT WORTH YOUR FREEDOM!!!!
lsd is not on any 6-7- or 8 panel test so u dont even have to worry bout that shit girly……..actually….i’ve never even heard of somebody failing for acid in my life….unless they just invented some test for it very very recently, i am positive that they can’t even get it from ur urine.
this sight is knocked tha fuck off…….this is for michele,,,,always be safe though,,,i just did 31 months in prison so they may have a urine test for lsd now,,,do ur reasearch but tread with caution cuz the bullshit info i got about the methadone on this sight threw my ass under the bus. If ur on any parole or probation the max they use are 8 panel tests and they do not have lsd on them. Suboxone (bupanorphine) isn’t on ther either but they always have a special single dip test for that. That test is 85$ a dip so they only test for it if they have suspicion that u used it so they might hav that for lsd now too…..i wish u luck…always research for advice and if u still dont feel comfortable about it, hav somebody piss for u in a small visine body and keep in in ur little girly part till u get to takin the test,,that way it stays body temp….jus some advice from someone whos been through this shit way too many times..be safe
My question is.. I am female 5’3″ 95-100lbs I’ve been taking percocet about 60mg/day for about a month or so I started taking them for tooth pain but it lead to taking them for the euphoric feeling they gave me I have a urine drug test coming up in 4days and am wondering how long will it take for the percocet to clean our of my system and is there any chance of me passing this test if I dont use from now til I get tested?
once you go black, you never go back, because you smoke crack faster than you can react.
