“Call anonymously” – This so-called online service, described with grammatical errors, is expensive. Sober at Home said it costs between € 150 and € 170 and depends on the patient’s condition.

This week, doctors failed to rescue a man who was taken to hospital, who was initially being treated to sober up at home.

“Due to this incident, a pre-trial investigation was launched to determine the cause of death and all circumstances are now being clarified,” said police spokesman Ramūnas Matonis.

After a few deaths a year, this, according to specialists from the Poison Control Center, costs non-professional help at home, because professionals do not provide it.

“Nobody operates at home for appendicitis, although it would probably be a lower risk,” explained Robertas Badaras, a doctor in the Department of Toxicological Resuscitation and Intensive Care at the University Hospital of the Republic of Vilnius (RVUL).

Gabija Laubner, head of RVUL’s Acute Poisoning Division, said she would compare the practice to giving birth at home.

“So it is good as long as it is good, but if there are any complications that require a very quick response, rapid and intensive therapy, monitoring, transporting a person, then it requires a great deal of time, manual assistance, and experience and equipment.” assured.

However, sober internet folks say drips are enough. Not to mention, his drip is better than in the hospital.

“It’s not just about dripping fluids, it’s about dripping medicines and vitamins, because if you drink only fluids, what you do in, say, hospitals, you have to sleep a whole week for such a patient, and the blood clears up here in two or three hours, “the superman told reporters. at home”.

The toxicologist R. Badar, upon hearing such statements, joked that “a lady could claim the Nobel Prize.”

“Blood cleaning in two hours, not even hemodialysis. We are very scared by those liquid embankments. This means that incomprehensible amounts of liquid are poured there and then we have many complications,” added the doctor.

As sober people explained the procedure further, the doctor became even more dire: But first he needs to get a good night’s sleep and he’s asleep. “

R. Badar only shook his head after such explanations from the “superman” and commented that “falling asleep is beautiful when a person who falls asleep wakes up.”

“It is not necessary to fall asleep, but it takes mind and experience to wake up,” said the toxicologist.

The actor who promises to “sober up anonymously” intends to remain anonymous. “Blaivintų namuose” assured that her clinic was located on Žalgirio street, but when the journalist asked her her name, she was surprised that she was so interested in everything down to the last detail.

“And why are you asking the details here now, I don’t understand? Wait, you want anonymous sobriety and you want absolutely all the data,” he wondered.

The State Accreditation Service for Healthcare Activities (HACCP) says that sobriety services provided in a patient’s home are always illegal. It is said that the fines are up to 1,000 euros, and if it is done as a business also in prison.

“The provisions of the Penal Code can be applied, not only a fine, but also a restriction of freedom with a prison sentence of up to four years,” said Nora Ribokienė, head of the Medical Care Accreditation Service.

No private facilities for being sober at home have been provided. Raimondas Alekna says that she has not recently come across scammers who tried to cover up on behalf of her clinic.

“Firstly, it is dangerous and secondly are the legal regulations that do not allow sobriety to be done at home,” explained the founder of the Ąžuolynas Clinic.

Illegal sobers can only be punished by crediting their performance in the event of illness or death. During quarantine, the number of offers to sober up at home has only increased, but medical professionals are categorical – only medical institutions can be requested.
