They came wearing white coats — but what they delivered was death. In this episode of From Russia with Crime, we uncover the deadly business of illegal home detox services in Siberia, where unlicensed medics gave powerful IV drips to alcohol-dependent patients — killing at least nine. With no diagnostics, no oversight, and no qualifications, these so-called specialists used dangerous sedatives and even morphine to deliver quick fixes that turned fatal. Behind the smiling ads and call-center hotlines was a network built on desperation and silence. This is the story of “treatment” that cost lives — and profited from them.
