Among of the treatment for drug addiction is through the approach of sufism by implementing the practice in al-Ṭarīqah al-Ṣūfiyyah through the emphasis on the needs and the methods of spiritual motivation. By applying the interview method and descriptive analysis, this study was conducted at Pondok Remaja Inabah Kuala Nerang to obtain informations on drug addiction treatment methods via the practice of Ṭarīqah Qadiriyah wa Naqshabandiyyah. Managers or practitioners as well as four trainees were interviewed to obtain more detailed regarding the information on the methods and also on the experiences of the trainees which is has been exposed to this method of spiritual motivation. This study found that the spiritual aspect using the methodology of al-Ṭarīqah al-Ṣūfiyyah taken by practitioners of Ṭarīqah Qādiriyah wa Naqshabandiyyah is able to be an alternative or complementary treatment to existing drug addiction rehabilitation treatment in addition to developing human personality.

Relapse to drug seeking after prolonged abstinence is a major problem in the clinical treatment of drug addiction. The use of pharmacological interventions to disrupt established drug reward memories is a promising strategy for the treatment of drug addiction. A growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1 A antagonist, JMV2959, has been shown to reduce morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats within hours of intervention; thus, JMV2959 is a potential candidate for drug addiction treatment. However, the effect of JMV2959 on reconsolidation to disrupt drug seeking remains unknown. In this study, we assessed the effect of JMV2959 on morphine induced memory reconsolidation to inhibit drug seeking after drug withdrawal. Our results showed that the administration of JMV2959 (6 mg/kg) significantly reduced environmental cue induced CPP, which suggested a preventive effect of JMV2959 on morphine induced memory reconsolidation. Additionally, JMV2959 administration significantly altered the locomotor activity and food and water intake but did not significantly alter the natural reward preference. We concluded that JMV2959 may be an effective candidate to treat drug addiction.
