The half-life is how long it takes a drug to reach 50% in your body, which can help you determine how long until it is completely processed out. The half life of the Alprazolam in Xanax is approximately 11 hours and the total elimination time of a drug is usually 5 to 6 half lives, so it would be eliminated from your body in 55 to 55 hours.

However, this is not the same as the detection time for drug tests and Benzodiazepines can be detectable in standard urine tests for as long as 6 weeks, after last taking them.
