Halloween Safety Tips

Growing up, Halloween was all about who could get the most  candy when out trick or treating,  or who had the best witches or ghost costume in the neighborhood. Our parents used to watch over us as we begged for at least one scary movie on the night of Halloween. Boy have we come a long way from those years. We are not little witches and ghosts anymore as Halloween in college often turns into a week long holiday filled with endless parties, and horror themed everything. Despite parties being an anticipated aspect of college life, research shows that drinking and substance use is used at a much higher, more dangerous rate during the Halloween season. In this episode, we will be discussing a few safety tips surrounding substance use to keep in mind when celebrating Halloween, the signs to be on the lookout for with drink spiking, and how to still have a spooktacular night while in recovery.
