Brief Answer:
Yes, tests are available for detection of Benzodiazepines
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Yes, tests are available for detection of benzodiazepines. Simple urine tests eg dip test in the office, the results of which are available with in 10 to 15 minutes can give a presumptive positive test but its not as specific as a confirmatory test for benzodiazepines in urine which have a very low cut off value and specifically detect the drug up to ng /dl.
The urine tests can cost around 2 $ each. The latter specific one may be a bit more expensive depending on the lab.
Hair follicle analysis can detect Valium for even longer periods and at very small trace amounts even. Benzodiazepines can stay in the hair follicle for up to 90 days.
Hair follicle analysis can cost up to 150 $.
Let me know if you have any query
