Benzodiazepine drug testing for your peace of mind
Benzodiazepines – also known by the street names Benzos or Downers – are sedative medications (depressants) that slow down the functions of the brain and the body.
These types of drugs can be legally prescribed to alleviate symptoms of conditions like insomnia and anxiety. However, they are also sold illegally in pill form, and are sometimes sold in counterfeit packaging to make them look like branded medications.
Benzodiazepines are Schedule IV drugs under the Controlled Substances Act. This is because they are considered to have lower potential for abuse than those drugs controlled under Schedule I, II or III of the Act.
They are highly detectable in drug tests and can be found in hair, nail clippings and urine.
Whether you have concerns about a loved one misusing drugs, or simply want a test for other personal reasons, AlphaBiolabs can help.

What are benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines – also known by the street names Benzos or Downers – are sedative medications (depressants) that slow down the functions of the brain and the body.
These types of drugs can be legally prescribed to alleviate symptoms of conditions like insomnia (difficulty getting to and/or staying asleep) and anxiety.
Illegally-manufactured benzodiazepines are sometimes sold in counterfeit packaging to make them look like branded medications. However, they are most often sold illegally in pill form.
Some examples of prescription benzodiazepines include triazolam (Halcion®), clonazepam (Klonopin®), lorazepam (Ativan®), diazepam (Valium®) and alprazolam (Xanax®).
How are benzodiazepines used?
Benzodiazepines are usually ingested in tablet or capsule form, and are either crushed and snorted, or swallowed.
However, in rare instances, they can also be injected.
How long do benzodiazepines stay in your system?
Even after the ‘high’ has worn off, and long after the drug was first consumed, benzodiazepine use can be detected by a drug test, depending on the type of test you take.
The drug testing detection windows for benzodiazepines are as follows:
Which drug test is best for benzodiazepines?
The type of drug test you need depends on your individual needs and circumstances. We offer three types of drug test to detect benzodiazepine use:
Urine drug tests provide a narrow window of detection, meaning that they can only tell us whether an individual has been using drugs in the few days prior to the samples being collected.
A urine drug test provides a window of detection up to four days after benzodiazepines were first used.
This makes urine drug tests ideal for circumstances where an individual is suspected to be under the influence of drugs in the ‘here and now’, or for day-to-day monitoring of drug use.
Hair drug tests and nail drug tests provide us with a wide window of detection (up to 12 months). This is due to the way in which drugs are retained in the hair and nails, long after substances were first consumed.
Peace of mind, home hair drug tests can provide an overview of drug use up to 12 months. Nail drug tests are ideal where hair testing is not possible, providing an overview of historic drug use up to six months (fingernails) or up to 12 months (toenails).
Our home drug tests allow you to collect your samples in the comfort of your own home and return them to our laboratory for testing (where appropriate). Please be aware that the results of these tests cannot be used for legal purposes.
