This study examines the role of curative da'wah as a psychospiritual intervention in the rehabilitation of drug addicts within an Islamic spirituality-based framework. While drug abuse in Indonesia is increasing, little research has explored how da'wah, traditionally associated with religious preaching, can be adapted into a therapeutic approach addressing the spiritual and psychosocial needs of recovering addicts. The research was conducted at the House of Serenity Rehabilitation Center in Bandar Lampung using a descriptive qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving 15 participants, including former addicts, spiritual mentors, and program managers. The analysis, guided by the Miles (2) significant changes in participants' spiritual orientation and interpersonal relationships, with 80% reporting stronger meaning in life and no relapse during the study period; and (3) empathetic communication that fosters trust, emotional resilience, and identity reconstruction. These results suggest that curative da'wah can serve as a complementary, context-specific strategy for holistic addiction recovery, with potential application in community-based and spiritually grounded mental health programs.
