Xanax is detectable by almost all drug tests.

Hair: 90 days after use.
Blood: 6-48 hours after use.
Urine: 7 days after therapeutic use, 4-6 weeks after a year of chronic use.

They say the half-life of Xanax after consumption is about 10 hours, which is about the point where you stop feeling its effects. But, as you can see from the drug detection times, Xanax will "stay in your system" much longer than that.
