Indonesia is in a state of drug emergency, 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 aimed at replacing habits of drug use with habits of ritual Islamic religious practice. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study describes the rehabilitation process at a faith-based rehabilitation centre and analyses the process from the spiritual approach of social work. The result shows long-term ritual religious activities have replaced the drug abusers’ behaviours. To avoid drug abusive behaviour, further processes to strengthen drug-free behaviours are necessary
