Klonopin (clonazepam) is prescribed for anxiety disorders and acute epilepsy. According to Mental Health Daily, the medication is estimated to have a 30- to 40-hour half-life, which means it can stay in a person’s system for 6.88 to 9.17 days after the last dose. When metabolized within the liver, a metabolite called “7-amino-clonazepam” is formed and its half-life is said to be either shorter than that of Klonopin or about the same. In all, it is believed the body can clear Klonopin within 14 days, or two weeks after one stops taking it.

Mental Health Daily reports that although Klonopin testing is uncommon, certain people are more likely to be tested for the drug. Among them are people whose jobs require mental alertness and sobriety. This group includes pilots, military troops, top-level athletes, criminals, and people in active addiction. People suspected of prescription drug abuse, particularly those in treatment for a substance abuse issue, may be tested for the drug.

Klonopin drug tests include those that check the urine, hair, and saliva. The urine test will check for the 7-amino-clonazepam metabolite, which can remain detectable in the urine for up to five days. The hair test, which provides the longest window of detection, can detect the 7-amino-clonazepam metabolite for up to four months after Klonopin was last ingested. The saliva test can detect the same metabolite as well as clonazepam between five and six days after the drug was last taken. A blood test for Klonopin provides the shortest window of detection despite the fact that it will be able to easily detect it only one to two hours after ingestion, Mental Health Daily writes. Klonopin’s long half-life makes also makes it detectable days after it’s taken. Still, the blood test is seen by some as more invasive than urine testing.
