Lamar Odom’s rehab centers in California will serve a purpose for humanity. Indeed, experience has been the best teacher for the basketball icon. Years after getting the help he sought, he decided to help others through the facilities.
Once upon a time, Khloe Kardashian‘s ex-husband, Lamar Odom, was addicted to drugs. In fact, it almost ruined his life and sent him to an early grave.
In 2015, Odom was discovered unresponsive in a Las Vegas brothel. He was rushed to the hospital, and the doctors almost thought he had little chance of survival.
Fortunately, the Lakers champion survived, but that event changed his life. After realizing his drug addiction, he decided to become sober but lost Khloe, who served him divorce papers in 2013.
The divorce was put on hold following the near-death experience, and Khloe made some medical decisions for him. But in 2016, the former couple parted ways.
Last year, Odom was honest about his obsession with drugs. He recalled passing out in the Las Vegas brothel from an “unholy concoction of cocaine, cognac, and cannabis.”
Through his upcoming documentary, the 43-year-old wants the world to know his journey so far. The docs titled “TMZ PRESENTS: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians” sees Lamar exalting his ex-wife for her role during his time of need.
Odom’s intention to share his story did not end there. The sports star recently purchased some facilities to help rehabilitate people who were like his former self. Here is what we know about Lamar Odom’s rehab centers in CA.
