It varies. Talking to your eye doctor may help. Some contacts such as Acuvue, etc. have lenses that can last up to a week to a month (not-top wear). Just advise your doctor and see which contact can be used for a long period of time.

If you are not using disposable contact lens, how long is a pair of contact lens good for?

When using a pair of hard contact lenses, frequent replacement lenses should be replaced monthly or quarterly. Traditional (reusable) lenses should last six months or longer. It is recommended that they be changed at least once every 8 or 9 months. I have been wearing disposable contact lenses for years. I started out wearing the Durasoft 3 lenses that I replaced once per year. I currently wear Freshlook lenses and replace them every month. I think it is more healthy that way.

Why is contact lenses dangerous?

Contact lenses are dangerous if you do not follow instructions in wearing and cleaning them. If you wear them too long, don't clean them properly, or don't replace them as recommended, you could start an infection or physically damage the eye. Another way that contacts can be dangerous - the specialty colored contacts used for cosmetic value rather than vision correction. Many of these are made and sold by unscrupulous people. Some folks have lost their vision due to these lenses. Make sure the lenses you purchase have been registered with FDA.
