Methamphetamine (meth) can be detected in urine for different lengths of time depending on usage patterns and individual factors. Generally:
- For a single use, meth can be detected in urine for about 2 to 3 days after use
- For regular or heavy users, meth may be detectable in urine for up to 4 to 7 days or even longer due to accumulation in the body
- On average, the detection window in urine is roughly 34-36 hours but can extend based on frequency and amount of use
Factors influencing detection time include metabolism, age, health, body fat, hydration, and how much meth was consumed
. In summary, if you are taking a urine drug test, meth can typically be detected from 2 to 7 days after last use, with longer detection times for chronic users
