IV clinics for hangovers

Published

I have seen this done in Las Vegas. You have a hangover and either they come to u or u go to their clinic. You get NS IV and zofran, etc

I want to start my own company doing this

Living in south Florida I see a need for this but how do I go about it. I have done some research.

Pros and cons of it?

Liability ??

Medical director ? How to find one?

Any help is appreciated

I heard about the one in Las Vegas too... I think it's called Hangover Heaven. :cat:

I've thought about this too! It would be awesome if you could make house calls though.

Most of them are mobile clinics. Some also offer oxygen (sometimes flavored). For a 99 cent bag of saline and 15 minutes of O2, they charge like $300 and up. Never heard of one providing Zofran, or any other 'real' medications. That would seriously complicate things, including your liabilty. OP: Can you imagine, really, having a hangover truck, say in SoBe? You could market yourself to the nightclubs, and the celebrity owned restaurants. In a few months you'd need to open your own BANK to deal with the cashflow.

There are 2 brick & mortar "Remedy Rooms" in New Orleans. They offer IV therapy ($150) and zofran, famotodine, ketorolac and Oxygen ($30 each). I think you would have to team up with a physician. It's not a bad idea for a clinic. Also, they have converted a bus to make a mobile clinic that can treat 12 patients at a time.

Wish I knew about this service when I was in New Orleans as I attended several Mardi Gras parades on ST Charles Avenue just 2 blocks away....

This sounds like a sure money maker but a lot of liability...would love to "follow" this idea and see how it works out. Keep me posted.

Drunk people don't make good customers. Do they pay in advance because if I was a broke drunk college student I'd skip out on the bill.

If they were drunk, they wouldn't have a hangover. This is a next morning business I believe.

I have *often* thought of doing something like this here in Los Angeles, and making it appear "high end," to appeal to rich drunks, traveling execs, and celebs. A Mercedes van comes to you, offering different levels & packages of services including IV hydration, O2, Zofran, vitamin B/Niacin, pain relief, aromatherapy, and even massage. We'd have an "express" package to help busy execs get back on their feet quickly, day-long total repair for week-long party bingers, post-Vegas weekend specials and even couples deals. It would be a total moneymaker once you'd ironed out all the liability and license/MD issues!!!!
