Question : Im a pretty heavy heroin user and i have to take a urine test in 7 days. i also took 3 mg of colozapam 1 day ago. If i stopped using tomorrow will i pass the test? and is there anything i can do to insure that i will?

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

Heroin is a relatively short-acting drug and is detectable in urine and saliva for 1 to 3 days only.

Clonazepam has a longer duration of action and can be detectable for 5 to 7 days .

So, in your secenario, most likely you will pass the drug test.

There are several claims of methods to 'flush out' these drugs quickly, but none of them really work. The only thing which you can do is to drink plenty of fluids and take rest so that you can tide over the withdrawal phase.

Wish you all the best.
