When an animal is infected with venom it will mount an immune response against the venom—just as it would if infected by bacteria or virus. To produce antivenin you would inject a living organism with a small amount of venom and then harvest the antibodies for use in infected patients.

It’s like super expensive though so it’s not used unless absolutely necessary.
