Las Vegas – Former NBA star Lamar Odom voluntarily checked into a rehabilitation facility this week following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.[1][2]
Police Pull Over Leads to DUI Charges
Officers stopped Odom early on January 17 after observing erratic driving maneuvers. He allegedly changed lanes without signaling and activated his turn signal without shifting lanes. Authorities also cited him for speeding more than 41 miles per hour over the limit.[3]
Investigators noted an overwhelming odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Odom denied consuming alcohol and attributed the smell to a passenger, though reports indicated he admitted to smoking marijuana earlier that day. The incident marked another encounter with law enforcement for the retired athlete.[4]
Personal Decision to Seek Treatment
Rather than waiting for court proceedings, Odom chose to address potential triggers immediately. He entered a 30-day program at iRely Recovery in Los Angeles, focusing specifically on marijuana use. His team emphasized that the move was not court-mandated but a proactive step toward better health.[5]
The facility specializes in substance use and mental health issues, aiming for long-term wellness. Odom expressed concerns that marijuana could serve as a gateway back to harder substances, prompting this timely intervention.[5]
