One of the issues that has been getting worse in the community until now is drug abuse. Drug abuse causes a deep impact on oneself and others. This article is intended to identify the issues and challenges of the level of readiness to change and religiosity among adolescent drug addicts. Tracing from the point of readiness to change, every individual has a different level of motivation, readiness and capacity to change. Return of drug use or intake resumption of the drug after one of the former addicts quit using it in a certain period, more commonly known as the "relapse", is a highly alarming situation. The phenomenon of relapse is an issue that often happens to former drug addicts after the expiration of the treatment prevention and recovery process. Individuals who experience a relapse when they are stuck with the crisis of the extension, which involves symptoms such as looking at simple things, not being able to plan their time well, often acting recklessly, thinking that every problem is complex and not able to be solved, easily inflamed, often forgotten and distraught, not being able to control emotions and often giving a reaction to the excessive effects of not being able to think with the good. Prevention programmes of drugs is seen as a need against empowerment because prevention is less effective and needs to be enhanced. The programmes should be implemented through a more interesting approach, in addition to the content of the programmes of prevention, which need to be more systematic and updated to encourage adolescents to get involved in every activity. This study suggests that the approach of spirituality in Islam is used as a strategy for recovery drugs. This is because a powerful spirituality can lead to a strong and long-term recovery.
