Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Methamphetamine is detectable in the body for up to 5 days on standard urine drug screening tests. There is no way to remove it faster -- the body simply has to metabolize it. The only way to pass a urine drug screen is to not use drugs.

Detailed Answer:
As I said, methamphetamine is detectable in the body for up to 5 days on standard urine drug screening tests.

The only way to stop craving and using meth is to try. You need to attend alcoholics or narcotics anonymous (AA or NA) meetings daily. You need to have a sponsor or family member or friend you can call when you're having cravings to help you stop yourself. Ideally you would do a 28 days inpatient rehab to focus on sobriety.
