My name is Michael Pugh, and I am an honorably discharged U.S. Army combat veteran.

I served on active duty for several enlistments with the 3rd Infantry and 82nd Airborne Divisions, as well as a platoon sergeant in the 4/160 Infantry California National Guard, where I graduated from many schools, including Airborne, Jumpmaster, Jungle Warfare, and Ranger Schools.

During my service, I amassed a distinguished record and am a highly decorated soldier.

After being discharged, I studied at San Diego State University, where I was awarded a merit scholarship at Oxford University, England.

If you’re addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, your first reflex is to go to a local rehab center to get treatment.

However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has already started to wind down and travel to other countries is becoming possible again, why not go overseas for treatment instead?

You might think, “That’s too costly!

Travel expenses plus rehab equals an empty bank account!”

This isn’t necessarily the case.

There are times when it’s actually cheaper to avail of inpatient rehab in another country even when you take into account the travel expenses.

Addiction or substance dependence is difficult to cope with. It obviously generates a negative impact in multiple areas of an addicted person’s life.

The same could be said about the ongoing COVID-19, Covid, or coronavirus pandemic around the world.

Every time lockdown happens in a city, region, state, province, or country, it becomes tougher for a substance abuse patient to find help when it comes to overcoming their sobriety issues.

They can’t get out of their homes and they might O.D. in there depending on their stash or supply of illicit drugs or alcohol.
