Addiction is complicated. There's the drug and then there's the (mental) illness and/or pain the (eventual) addict is trying to cure. And finally, there's context. That is, being in an environment where drugs are available makes saying no difficult. Dealing with the drug part of the equation is certainly a positive. But there's still the individual and her/his demons, as well as the environmental factors. Without "cures" for the latter two, the former (drugs) isn't going to get as far as conventional wisdom likely expects.
