Abstract:

 Drug addiction is a global health crisis affecting millions worldwide, with Indonesia reporting 3.3 million users aged 15-64 in 2023. This qualitative descriptive study explores the implementation and effectiveness of Islamic-based mental health counseling approaches at the Sinar Jati Foundation in Lampung, Indonesia, for drug addiction rehabilitation. Using interviews, observations, and documentation from three drug abuse clients, two counselors, and one foundation administrator, the research examined how Islamic spiritual practices, including prayer, dhikr, Quranic study, and faith-based counseling, were integrated into conventional rehabilitation programs. Results demonstrated significant positive changes in clients’ emotional stability, self-control, and spiritual engagement. Subjects who initially exhibited unstable emotions, lack of motivation, and poor impulse control showed marked improvements in emotional regulation, behavioral management, and religious practice adherence after participating in the Islamic-integrated rehabilitation program. The findings suggest that incorporating Islamic spiritual values and practices into mental health counseling provides a holistic framework that enhances recovery outcomes for Muslim individuals struggling with drug addiction, offering both psychological support and spiritual meaning essential for sustainable rehabilitation.
