Indonesia is in a state of drug crisis, both for the misuse and the distribution of drugs. Various institutions for drug abuse rehabilitation have been established, including Islamic-based rehabilitation using ritual spiritualism. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study describes the rehabilitation process at a faith-based rehabilitation centre with a spiritual approach of social work. The result shows long-term religious activities have replaced the drug abusers’ behaviors and further process to strengthen drug-free status is necessary.
