I am going to describe a practice of trying to get rid of alcoholism. I don't really know if people use this type of treatment (fighting alcoholism) it in other countries or not, but I suppose there definitely should be something similar. I heard this type of practice many times from my colleagues and friends in Russia when speaking about other people's experiences.
The practice is when some kind of medication is inserted into a person's body and if alcohol penetrates their organism, the mixture of the medication and alcohol forms a deadly poison that kills a person. The person knows about it and when he wants to drink again, he is supposed to remember that there is the medication in his body that can kill them after interacting with alcohol. As a result he doesn't drink.
What do you call the process of inserting this medication in your body (in Russian it's a fixed term whose meaning becomes clear after you've pronounced this word)?
