I have a friend who is 54 years old, weighs 230lb, height 5`9" and is prescribed Klonopin 0.5mg three times a day. He needs to come off due to some personal reasons and would like to know how long it stays in your system. Thanks in advance.
How long does it take for 0.5mg Klonopin to be undetectable?

The question is not about how long it stays in your system. You do not mention how long he has been on this benzodiazepine. These medications are very addicting, that is the main problem and in order to properly come off it and avoid withdrawals (which from this drug class are pretty horrible) is to do it gradually under medical supervision with a discontinuation schedule from his/her Dr..

Blood: Klonopin shows up in blood after one to two hours, and may be detectable for several days.
Urine: Klonopin may be detected in urine for five days after one dose, while 7-aminoclonazepam may be detected for up to nine days. With multiple doses, this timeline may extend to two weeks.
Saliva: Klonopin can be found in saliva for five days, and 7-aminoclonazepam can be found for six days.
Hair: As is the case with many drugs, Klonopin does not appear in hair for a few days or weeks, but once it does, 7-aminoclonazepam is detectable for up to four months.
