vieroitettavan

Vieroitettavan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun or participial adjective vieroitettava, meaning a person who is to be detoxified or weaned off an addictive substance. The term is primarily used in medical, social work, and administrative contexts to refer to an individual who requires withdrawal treatment or detoxification.

In use, vieroitettavan appears in phrases that describe actions or plans related to the person in detoxification. For example, vieroitettavan hoito refers to the care or treatment of the person to be detoxified, and vieroitettavan tilanne can denote the situation of the person undergoing withdrawal. The base nominative form is vieroitettava, and the word functions as a modifier in front of a noun, with the genitive form vieroitettavan indicating possession or specification.

Context and nuance are important: the term emphasizes that the person is the recipient of detoxification-related measures, rather than referring to the process itself. It commonly appears in clinical records, care plans, social services documentation, and legal or administrative texts where precise description of involved individuals is required.

Note: As a specialized term, vieroitettavan is mostly encountered in Finnish medical and social service language and may be unfamiliar outside professional contexts. Proper usage generally aligns with standard Finnish grammar for attributive forms of the vieroitettava family.
