Benzos legally took valium 5mg 2x a day for a week, how long until out of my urine?

[spyro11]

it was three weeks ago today that I stopped. I was legally prescribed it by a psychiatrist while in jail, and it saved me from terrible withdrawls while I was in there (I was lucky).

but tomorrow, I finally got an appointment to see the suboxone doctor at rehab, and I showed them proof I got it prescribed in jail and they should know im no longer taking it, but im scared im going to piss positive for it anyway and they wont let me see the doctor I desperately need to see. I have no money and I will flip shit and end up in prison if they deny me the right to see that doctor, I will probably do something crazy like threaten them and insist im not fucking on it.

whether or not they (or myself) are sane about this issue is not even relevant. they have NOT shown me my urinalysis results, so I have no idea what is in my urine at this point.

is there a chance that benzos are still in my urine at this point, 3 weeks clean of them? I took 5mg 2x a day, midday and nighttime for 5 (maybe 6? days) and i'm reading this shit stays in fat cells and can be detected for longer periods than thc.

I will seriously end up in prison if they are assholes seeing as I showed them the script and explained it numerous times that I am NOT on benzos and obtained them legally at the time, so regardless of your answers, lets hope they actually help me. I know it seems stupid to be worried about this now, but ive been survivng on street subs and begging for change to pay for it to the point where my entire family is out of money and cannot support me any longer so I absolutely NEED them to help me. they 'want' to and have me set up for 1 tomorrow, but im almost positive they will screen my urine again (unless last friday's test with my counselor counts), and im very afraid this is going to get in the way of something ive been struggling with and fighting for for weeks. it's not even like I did anything wrong, ive stayed totally sober since day 1.

my counselor would let it slide and pass me through, im just scared someone else will test me and insist that I may still be taking them since they dont know me. I'm so excited for this and if it gets ruined i will be relegated to stealing other peoples prescriptions to get by for a possibly long period of time if this still isnt out of my system...

they should be sane about it since I got them legally and showed the script, but you guys know how rehabs are - the doctor WONT give out subs and benzos at the same time, and doesnt even usually let people with benzos in the system see them. Im praying to god that they let people who had legal prescriptions and stopped taking them in. my counselor would ignore the positive result but the other counselors will not, seeing as they are impartial to my situation

I may be being paranoid, since last time they didnt even set me up with an appointment because I had benzos in my system, but it was illegally at the time (same rehab), so I ended up walking out on them after weeks of not getting any help with detox - I was sick as a dog and they were denying me the doctor while I had the shivers and couldnt function in the middle of the summertime. Maybe its different since I showed them I had a prescription and my counselor trusts me being honest.

maybe they wouldnt have even given me the appointment (they didnt last time). so maybe I can just walk in and see the doctor without another drug test (they took one last friday before giving me the appointment)

im just scared over this because I need the help. I've been TRYING to get help this time. I just cant afford to be buying more sub on the street, and if I ever get caught I'll get whatever the felony sentence for suboxone is plus at least 7 years in federal prison on top of that. I can't afford this nonsense. (I'll get a year for a misdemeanor, since I tried to get out of it with rehab and had the charges brought up, a speeding ticket, a UPM, 2x misdemeanor assault charges and a misdemeanor strangulation charge + the suboxone charge or whatever else I get, ALL in jail time).

Benzodiazepines like Valium can stay in the system a pretty long time. It depends on how much you take and for how long. Also your health, age, weight and metabolic rate play a part.
How long a drug stays in your system depends mainly on it's elimination half life.
For Valium (diazepam) the initial distribution phase is followed by a prolonged terminal elimination phase (half-life up to 48 hours). The terminal elimination half-life of the active metabolite N-desmethyldiazepam is, on average, 100 hours.
So you would actually have to account for the elimination of N-desmethyldiazepam.
It takes 5.5 x elimination half lives (hours) for a medicine to be cleared from your system, therefore Valium or it's active metabolite will be in your system for 550 hours (5.5 x 100hrs) i.e. approximately 23 days.

well all I can say is they better let me see the doctor. there isnt much I can do about it, and if im fucked for literally no reason I will be pissed. Ive done everything i was supposed to do, and got it legally

its been between 21 and 23 days, I think it will be exactly 23 when I got tomorrow at 1pm, but its probably only 22 since I took it the day before I got out. I do have a fast metabolism and very little fat on me.

I will be bringing the sheet from the prison saying they gave it to me again too, even though the rehab already got a copy of it.

We don't allow drug testing questions like this, sorry.
