drug tests

I am helping a friend that is trying to give up shabu.  They last used the drug on the 30th May and about four weeks before that.  the pattern of use is about once a month for two or three days.  Recently (19th June) they had a positive drugs test and this has frightened them into giving up completely.  How long will it be before they are clear from a positive drugs test? and what sort of symptoms should I expect to deal with during withdrawl?  There are bad mood swings already.  How long will that last?
