Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns for your daughter.
She was taking 20-30 mg Xanax which is a high dose.
If a urine test is done then the limits of detection usually is about 7-10 days.
However, no one exactly determine the time duration for detection of a drug in body.
In a hair test, it can be detected for as long as 3 months.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
