Background and Objectives: Nowadays addiction is a major problem of families and communities. Euphoria and changing of mental states due to drug use, association with addicted friends and social anomies are factors of tendency to addiction. The pray is a religious behavior and is the main symptom and true sign of religion. The pray can lead people to human dignity and grandeur. In this study, because of the important role of pray in changing and consolidation of human personality, tendency to pray was evaluated in addicts referring to Nejat and Avaye-Mehr drug rehab center in Arak city.
Materials and Methods: The cross sectional study included 205 patients referred to the two rehab centers during 6 months in Arak city. Data were collected by a questionnaire and interviews.
Results: The results showed that 30% of the patients under study always pray. In the months that religious ceremonies are held, the adherence of them to perform the ritual of pray is increased. The results suggest that in these patients, pray is considered negligible because only 42, 20 and 23.9 percent of them respectively are bound to: understand the meaning of pray, earlier pray and provide preparations of pray before the Azan.
Conclusion: Although it cannot be claimed that the cause of addiction is inappetence to prayer, we can say that the adherence to prayer among drug addicts who were referred to the drug rehab centers was low.
Keywords: Arak, Addiction, Patient, Saying the prayer
