Retention Time in Urine Note: Interpretation of retention time must take into account variability of urine specimens, drug metabolism and half-life, patient’s physical condition, fluid intake, and method and frequency of ingestion. These are general guidelines only. 0 Drug Approximate Retention Time Amphetamines 48 hours Barbiturates Short-acting (eg, secobarbital), 24 hours Long-acting (eg, phenobarbital), 2-3 weeks Benzodiazepines 3 days, if therapeutic dose ingested Up to 4-6 weeks after extended dosage (ie, 1 or more years) Ethanol 2-4 hours Methadone Approximately 3 days Propoxyphene 6-48 hours Cannabinoids Moderate smoker (4 times/wk) 5 days Heavy smoker (smoking daily) 10 days Chronic smoker 20-28 days
