Brief Answer:
A week

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. Xanax is detectable in urine for about a week and in blood for 48 hours after the last dose for occasional users .
However, in heavy users who have been on xanax for a long period of time, it can remain detectable for 4-6weeks .. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion ..
