Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Major withdrawal symptoms can be avoided with a gradual weaning, or tapering, of clonazepam.
Medical detox will usually last about 5-7 days until the peak of withdrawal symptoms has passed, and the drug is removed from the body.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
