Lamar Odom Opens 3 Odom Wellness Treatment Centers in California
After surviving several stints of battling drugs, former Los Angeles Lakers player, Lamar Odom has recently invested in three drug treatment centers that are based in Southern California.
According to TMZ Sports, the reality TV star has stated that he has found his purpose by investing in several drug treatment centers. Odom has battled addiction in the past, nearly dying at one point due to his use of drugs.
The former NBA champion has teamed up with Christian hip-hop recording artist Dontae Ralston and former Hall of Fame skateboarder Dennis Martinez to purchase treatment facilities in San Diego, El Cajon, and Lemon Grove.
Odom shared a photograph of him, his partners, and staff at one of the facilities recently purchased via his Instagram account.
“So Blessed 🙏🏿 Please meet my partners and staff at my new addiction treatment centers @odomwellnesstreatmentcenters located in San Diego County!!
God saved me, so I can save others. 🙏🏿”
According to the Odom Wellness Treatment Centers website:
“Odom Wellness Treatment Centers is a treatment program that offers restoration through Detox, Inpatient facilities, Outpatient programming & housing. His mission is to give back and allow all clients the ability to live and benefit from the same Entourage that supports and encourages his recovery.”
“He wants to help everyone he can,” a representative for Odom stated. “He is thankful that he was given a second chance at his life and feels his destiny is to help others.”
This is only the beginning of the Odom Wellness Treatment Centers. Odom intends on purchasing two more facilities soon, one in San Diego, and one in Calabasas.
“When God had saved me from that accident, I was trying to find my purpose—and I think I may have found it,” he tells TMZ. “I know I have found it.”
Earlier this year, in a television special, Odom insisted that he did not do any drugs on the night he overdosed at a brothel in Nevada. He claimed that the owner of the brothel, the late Dennis Hof tried to kill him by putting drugs in his drink that night.
He made that revelation on TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs and Kardashians back in January. The former basketball player claimed he was set up to be killed by the owner of the Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada. That incident took place in October 2015.
