Valium contains diazepam which is a benzodiazepine.
Let us conside a worst case scenario
The half life of active metabolite of diazepam is 30-70 hours
Even if we consider 70 hours, it will take around 12 -15 days for near complete elimination. So, the chances of detection at 20 days is very minimal or not possible at all.
Hope the above information allays your fear. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
