The last sobering house was closed in Novosibirsk 13 years ago.
The city's first sobering-up facility opened in Novosibirsk on Starom Shosse, 140/1. The last such institution was closed in Novosibirsk 13 years ago.
Police officers bring here people who have broken the law while intoxicated. These can be both ordinary citizens and people of no fixed abode.
After admission to the sobering-up center a person is examined and, if necessary, doctors are called in to provide first aid. If during the examination a person is noticed to have skin diseases, such as scabies, his clothes and skin are treated and then he is sent to the isolation ward. If a person caught in a sobering-up facility behaves aggressively, the staff of the sobering-up facility call the Rosgvardiya.
In other cases, the person is placed in a room similar to a ward, where he gets sober and sleeps it off. If his condition allows, a person can wash his clothes, drink tea and even watch TV. It is possible to stay in the sobering-up center for no more than a day, after which the violator of public peace is sent home, reports NGS.
