A friend of mine is on probation, and is scheduled to see her po tomorrow. she messed up 26 days ago and took 10 valium in an attempt to od. she suffers from severe depression. does anyone know how long it takes valium to exit your system so it is not detectable in a urine drug screen? i don't take benzos so i have no clue. thanks to all.

It depends greatly upon her metabolism, body weight, and the quantity ingested. Normaly a high dose will remain in the body for 7-21 days, but I have seen cases where benzo's were detected as much as 45 days after introduction to the body. But then again I've seen people pass drug screens 2 or 3 days after ingesting that type of drug. Benzo's stay with you longer than most other drugs, including street drugs, based on their lengthy half-life. Bottom line, your friend should be okay, but he/she needs to drink lots of water starting right now. You cannot fail because your urine is clearer than normal, and it does help to flush meds from the system, contrary to popular belief. If they ask why she drank so much water, just tell them that shes been exercising and wants to stay hydrated. If they think she did it to dilute the results, they will request a re-test, at which time the V should be gone from her system. Good luck

Here you go: Drug Detection Times in Urine Top of Page
Drug / Drug Group Time Range
Alcohol 24 hours or less,Amphetamines 1 to 4 days
Barbiturates Short-acting: 1 to 3 days
Long-acting (Barbital, Phenobarbital): 1 to 3 weeks
Benzodiazepines Short-term Therapeutic Use: 1 to 3 days
Long-term / Chronic Use: 1 to 3 weeks
Cocaine 1 to 5 days ,LSD 1 to 2 days
Marijuana (THC) Casual Use: 1 to 7 days
Long-Term / Chronic Use: 1 to 4 weeks
Note: THC, marijuana's primary active ingredient, is stored by the body in fatty lipid tissue. From there, it is slowly released into the bloodstream for up to several weeks - depending on the amount and frequency of use and the user's level of physical activity. In chronic and physically inactive users, THC may accumulate in fatty tissues faster than it can be eliminated. This accumulation leads to longer detection periods for these individuals. Also, users with a high percentage of body fat in relation to total body mass are prone to longer drug detection periods for marijuana.
MDMA (Ecstasy) 1 to 4 days
Methadone 1 to 4 days
Methamphetamines 1 to 4 days
Opiates 1 to 5 days
PCP (Phencyclidine) Casual Use: 1 to 7 days
Long-Term / Chronic Use: 1 to 4 weeks
Note: PCP is stored by the body in fatty lipid tissue. From there, it is slowly released into the bloodstream for up to several weeks - depending on the amount and frequency of use and the user's level of physical activity. In chronic and physically inactive users, PCP may accumulate in fatty tissues faster than it can be eliminated. This accumulation leads to longer detection periods for these individuals. Also, users with a high percentage of body fat in relation to total body mass are prone to longer drug detection periods for PCP.
