In Moscow and another 10 cities that will host matches of the World Cup in 2018, the sobering-up stations. This was reported by the chief psychiatrist-narcologist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Yevgeny Bryun.

"On the eve of the championship in Moscow and other cities where the matches will take place, decided to open such institutions (sobering-up centers) without fail. Since there will inevitably be drunken fans. For example, during the Cup of Confederations more than 600 people were hospitalized for various reasons. Basically, this somatic illness was, but some reasons were associated with intoxication, "- said Brun.

According to him, it was decided to return to the idea of ??returning sobering-up centers in Moscow, as "there is good experience in other regions of the country".

At the same time, the chief narcologist of Russia noted that it has not been decided yet whether the sobering-up centers will be paid and which department will supervise them. In any case, doctors will attend.

"It is clear that for medical professionals this is a non-core activity, there is a legal question: on the basis of what a person is held for a certain time? Therefore, most likely, it will not be within the framework of health care. Now the legal basis of this project is being worked out, "Brun said..

He also recalled that in the Soviet Union sobering-up centers were part of the MIA system.
