Halloween in Pittsburgh, Handled.

A nurse comes to you — before the party, after the party, and the morning after. You handle the costumes. We will handle the hydration.

The morning after

Costume parties end. November 1st morning begins either way, and it usually begins rough.

Our Hangover & Recovery IV is IV fluids and support for the morning after a late night — delivered at your home by a nurse, while you stay on your own couch. A reasonable way to catch up on fluids when you are behind. It is not a reset button, and we will not sell it as one.

The practical part: book the slot the night before, while you still remember. Morning-after availability goes quickly on a holiday weekend.

Every visit starts with screening and a short Good Faith Exam by phone, before anyone drives anywhere. If a service is not a fit for you, we will say so plainly.

$259 for the Hangover & Recovery visit. No facility fee, and the price does not change when we arrive.

For the hosts, and the parents

Somebody throws the party. Somebody walks the trick-or-treat route, in the cold, carrying the extra candy bag and the tired toddler. By the time the house is quiet, those people are running on fumes and coffee.

Our IV Hydration visit is a full liter of IV fluids at your kitchen table, after the kids are down, at an hour you choose — we work 7am to 10pm, every day. A straightforward way to catch up when you know you are behind.

$199 for the IV Hydration visit.

Cold season arrives with the candy

The first colds of the season tend to show up right about now — classrooms, offices, and a bowl of candy that half the neighborhood has reached into.

Our Immunity IV is fluids with vitamins and nutrients, for support during a run-down stretch. That word matters to us: support. It is not a shield, and it does not prevent anything.

The honest part, from a nurse: the flu shot is the real protection against flu, and we do not sell it. Our Flu Season page (https://www.swanhydration.com/flu-season) explains what actually helps this time of year — and it has a finder for free and low-cost flu shots near you, because that is the appointment worth making first.

$319 for the Immunity visit, screening first, like everything we do.

A treat, not a trick

This week only: use code SWAN10 when you book and take 10% off any visit. It comes off every price above — no fine print waiting at the door.

How a visit works

1. Book. Pick a time that suits you — we serve the Pittsburgh area 7am to 10pm, every day, across Allegheny, Washington, Beaver, Butler, Westmoreland, Fayette, and Greene counties.

2. Intake and a short exam. You complete a brief intake, then a Good Faith Exam by phone, about five minutes, and sign a consent form. We review your health history, medications, and allergies before anyone drives anywhere.

3. We come to you. Home, hotel, or workplace. You get settled somewhere comfortable, your nurse places the IV, and she stays with you for the visit — about an hour.

Not sure yet?

You do not have to know exactly what you want before you contact us. Call or text us at 412-312-4707 and tell us what your Halloween looks like — hosting, partying, or just surviving it. We will talk it through honestly, including if the honest answer is water and an early night.

That's what we're here for.
