How Long Will There Be Effect Of Diazepam In The Hair Follicle Test?

I took 250 mg od Diazepam about 2 weeks ago. That was 50mg a night for 5 nights in a row.
I am going for a job interview (in about a month or 2) where they do a Hair Follicle test for drugs,
How long will the Diazepam take to get out of my system so it does not show up in my Hair Follicle Test ?

Hi and thanks for this query.

It may take as many as 90days for hair testing to show negative for drugs. However, there is no reason to get worried of this finding if you obtained the drug legally. This is not one of the main concerns of hiring firms and should you be able too justify this, even controlled substances would not constitute a problem.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information if needed.
