Hangover Heaven is a mobile veisalgia treatment clinic based in Paradise, Nevada, that administers treatment for hangovers through an IV.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is the first clinic that studied the treatment of hangovers, with its own Hangover Research Institute.[6] Hangover Heaven was founded by Dr. Jason Burke, a Duke University-trained certified anesthesiologist.[1][2] The center opened in April 2012.[7][8]

History

Burke first formulated the idea for Hangover Heaven after observing that certain IV treatments administered in the recovery room could also be used to treat hangover symptoms.[2][3][4][6][9][10] After multiple experiments, Burke found a treatment, a saline mixture containing vitamins, antioxidants, and medications, that proved effective in relieving hangover symptoms in less than an hour.[5][6][11] Burke invested in a 45-foot Eagle M-15 bus to serve as both transport and the main Hangover Heaven clinic to save on building costs.[4][6] The facility opened in April 2012.[4][6][7] The bus holds two lounge areas and sleeping quarters with bunk beds.[7] It travels along the Las Vegas Strip hotels to pick up patients and makes house calls.[12][13] Hangover Heaven provides three types of treatments, containing multivitamins, antioxidants, and medication to treat nausea and inflammation.[6][10][12] The facility offers hangover prevention education, preventive IV therapy treatments including the Myers’ cocktail, and vitamin supplements via Vita Heaven.[6] The clinic originally ran on weekends, but expanded to operate on a daily basis with a second clinic in an office space.[2][6][14][15]

Reception

Hangover Heaven's treatments have met with some concern by members of the medical community.[1][2][3][4][5][12][16] In an interview, Dr. Drew Pinsky debated with Burke on the issue of alcoholism in regards to the Hangover Heaven treatment.[17] In addition, Dr. Arthur Caplan commented the risk the clinic faces in treating patients with underlying medical conditions.[2][13] In response, Burke stated he takes a subjective evaluation and complete medical history to ensure his patients are not still intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, and staffed the clinic with emergency medical technicians and RNs.[2][12][14]
