elvonási

Elvonási is a Hungarian adjective derived from elvonás, which means withdrawal or removal. The term is used primarily in medical and psychiatric language to describe things related to the process of withdrawing from a substance or to detoxification procedures. Common collocations include elvonási tünetek (withdrawal symptoms), elvonási időszak (withdrawal period), and elvonási kezelés (detoxification treatment).

In the medical context, elvonási tünetek can appear when a person with substance dependence reduces or stops intake of alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other drugs. Symptoms vary by substance and can range from sleep disturbance and anxiety to tremor, sweating, nausea, and irritability; severe cases of alcohol withdrawal may involve delirium tremens and require close medical supervision. Detox programs and detox centers—often referred to as elvonó—provide medical support and psychosocial care to manage the withdrawal process and to initiate longer-term treatment for dependence.

The word forms from elvonás, with the prefix el- indicating removal or release. While most use is medical, elvonési can, in broader contexts, describe any withdrawal-related aspect of a procedure or policy, though such use is less common than megvonás for certain types of withdrawal, such as the withdrawal of funds or privileges.
