GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — College students are headed back to school and, along with the fun activities on campus, there can also be risks.

Many students are living away from their parents for the first time and meeting new people. Add in the pressure of classes, and this can increase the chance that students will binge drink or develop substance use disorders.

Dr. Alta DeRoo, Chief Medical Officer at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, visited KARE 11 News at Noon to share advice on how to recognize and address whether someone in your life is at risk.
