Hello misohappy,

Most drugs are eliminated from the body in a very short time-frame, hence the withdrawals tend to cease within hours to a few days even when not fasting.
Alcohol detox for example can take anywhere from 3 to 14 days while still eating, whereas the fasting process on water according to thirst will greatly accelerate and shorten the time to do this.

This may be of interest..............
Drug Detox
"Withdrawal is caused by stopping or dramatically reducing drug use after heavy and prolonged use. The reaction frequently includes sweating, shaking, headache, drug craving, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, inability to sleep, confusion, agitation, depression, anxiety, and other behavioral changes. Certain types of drugs require a period of medical detox, others do not. Opiates, such as heroin and methadone do require medical detox. Prescription medications, of all classifications, require medically supervised detox. Other illegal drugs, such as MARIJUANA, crystal meth and cocaine (crack) DO NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL DETOX. Often, there is a significant, self induced, psychological dependence associated with these substances and therefore, a period of stabilization is advisable. Prescription drugs such as Hydrocodone, Oxycontin, Xanax, Vicodin and Lortab, all require medically supervised detox. Treatment of withdrawal (detox) includes closely monitoring the person’s vital signs, supportive care and medications. The most commonly used medication, Klonepin, primarily reduces physical symptoms. Buprenophex, anticonvulsant medications are some of the commonly used medications for drug detox. The time period for drug detox is 3 to 7 days of medically monitored supervision."

A 4 week time frame should easily give you enough time to accomplish your goals, so that the mandatory drug test for your new job should not be able to detect any previous abuse.

PS. Good that you have kicked the habit.
