ritualization ritualizing

I'm stuck with this one. We're trying to translate a presentation about addiction. We have most of it done, but we can't figure out how to translate "ritualization". We could use "ritualizing" if there is no translation for the first word. This may be a word from the mental health paradigm. Any help would be greatly appreciated by Abuelita and me.

Unless I mistake the intent of the English phrase that you provided (more context would be welcome), the response by Uly strikes me as the best.

You know I looked and looked for that word in various dictionaries because It sounded to me like it was what was needed. Apparently it's made it into the professional language but not yet into the dictionary. It wasn't here,or at WR , RAE or a couple of others that I searched. I didn't go looking past dictionaries though.

Ritualization puede interpretarse en español como patrones de comportamiento plenamente identificados, asociados a las adicciones.

Since ritualization doesn't seem to translate, what if you said that the associated behaviors become rituals'

Hola Calvo, hasta que no llegue James, lo intento yo.

Parte del proceso de adicción incluye un cierto ritual de comportamiento asociado a la misma.

We're describing the elements of the addiction cycle, such as preoccupation and building up of pressure; ritualization (preparing to act-out); acting out behavior; isolation; Feelings of guilt or shame; resolves to "never do it again"; denial and minimization; cycles back to the top and starts over.
