Need some help with this:
The impact of addiction is intense for any individual regardless of age. As psychology professionals have become more focused upon the growing elder adult population, it has become evident that even seniors are not exempt from the challenges of addictive behavior.
Differentiate addiction across the lifespan for adolescent, early adult, middle adult, and elder adult populations, and distinguish specific treatment techniques most appropriate for specific lifespan perspectives. Your Discussion should include consideration of the specific population characteristics of each age group, normal developmental issues and concerns, and age-appropriate experiences that may directly contribute to addiction behavior.
Determine and illustrate age-appropriate approaches to addictions counseling and treatment for each age group. Compare and contrast the treatment similarities and differences for each group.
