abstinence interrupting the cycle of aging out

[Spare Chaynge]

Swim would like others to discuss this matter. By refraining from all drugs are you interrupting the natural cycle of aging out. Correct swim if he is wrong but a similar result occurs by throwing youth offenders into jail. By throwing them into jail you interrupt the natural maturation process. When they are released from jail they have not naturally matured out of these behaviors. So basically they start where they left off.

By avoiding all drugs is swim simply interrupting his natural maturation process which would eventually lead him to discover that he no longer wants to get ridiculously high and simply wants to use/drink in moderation?

Swim understands that a snowball effect of someone who is physically and mentally addicted could also keep some from naturally aging out because they are unable to do so because of the addiction. But if you were to interrupt this cycle for long enough to break the physical and psychological addiction and then allow the person to try and practice moderation could it be better than presenting the person with an either drugs or total sobriety for life type of situation?
