I don't think people are talking about euphoric states when they talk about spiritual high just because of the context. Those euphoric states do exist and the Sufis refer to them as fana' (self annihiliation) and baqa' (the perpetuation of fana' basically) but this takes hard work from the Sufi. You have to keep up with the dhikrs that your shaykh gives you, obey the Shari'a, do sunnahs, rid yourself of vices, and just try to embody Islam in your heart and soul. This takes work and does not happen just by visiting Medina. Hope that clarifies it a bit more?
