Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
Xanax (alprazolam) is a short acting benzodiazepine. It's action should be over in a day or so. However, it can be detected for up to three months in some tests.
The timetable for detecting xanax in the system is also dependent upon your metabolism, body mass, age, hydration level, physical activity, health conditions and other factors, making it almost impossible to determine an exact time xanax will show up on a drug test.
The following is an estimated range of times, or detection windows, during which xanax can be detected by various testing methods:
Urine Test: 1-6 wks
Blood Test: 6-48 hrs`
Saliva Test: 1-10 days
Xanax, like many other drugs, can be detected with a hair follicle drug test for up to 90 days.

Brief Answer:
