比较联合宗教疗法与药物疗法的效果和单独药物疗法的效果，评估物质使用患者的心理健康状况，并比较吸毒者的人口统计学特征对其心理健康的影响。
这项实验研究于2016年7月5日至2017年7月25日在古吉拉特大学心理学系进行。从不同医院选取了140名吸毒患者作为样本。对实验组和对照组进行了前后测试。实验组接受标准药物疗法和宗教疗法，而对照组患者仅接受标准药物疗法。使用加利福尼亚心理量表幸福感分量表来判断治疗对他们心理健康的有效性。
研究结果证实，对照组和实验组的心理健康状况存在显著差异（p值<0.01）。治疗后，对照组和实验组的均值存在差异（分别为16.24和26.44）。观察到接受宗教疗法的患者心理健康状况比未接受宗教疗法的患者有所改善。此外，比较人口统计学变量的均值表明，治疗对所有年龄组、婚姻状况和教育水平的影响是相同的。然而，在农村地区（均值为27.04），心理健康状况优于城市地区（均值=26.11），收入水平在21,000至30,000之间的患者（均值为27.57）比其他收入水平的患者（均值分别为26.35和26.03）改善更大。
宗教疗法对物质使用患者的心理健康有显著治疗效果，且对所有年龄组、婚姻状况和教育水平均同样有效。
