Former NBA player Lamar Odom received a rehab center in New Mexico as a gift.

Lamar Odom, the renowned NBA champion, is expanding his empire of rehab treatment centers to a new location - New Mexico. Exciting news, right? According to TMZ, the former Los Angeles Laker was gifted a brand new treatment center by none other than New Mexico Pastor Anthony Torres. However, Torres had been struggling to secure funding for the facility, which led him to turn it over to Odom. And the reason behind this generous gesture? Well, Torres was well aware of Odom's commendable work with addiction treatment centers and hoped that he would use this property to aid those struggling with fentanyl addiction.

The new treatment center sits on a spacious one-acre land and has been given a new lease of life under Odom's Recovery Group. This only adds to Odom's rapidly growing list of treatment centers, which includes the California-based Restoration Recovery in Sacramento, Compassions in Laguna Hills, Inner Minds Health in San Bernardino, and Vanity Wellness Center in Woodland Hills. And that's not all - in June last year, Odom opened three recovery homes in San Diego and launched two more facilities in Louisburg, Kansas, and Huntington Beach, California.

Odom's passion for helping others battle addiction stems from his own experience as a recovering addict. After his near-fatal overdose in 2015, it became his calling to assist those facing similar struggles. In his own words, opening rehab centers was like an act of God for him. And the gratification he receives from people who have been helped by his centers is unparalleled, even more than the praise he received for his stellar performance with the Lakers.

But what makes Odom's centers stand out is the fact that they are a family-run business. His son and daughter are heavily involved in the daily operations of the Odom Recovery Group, with his daughter, Destiny Morales, serving as the client representative responsible for documenting patient information. His son, Lamar Jr., works as a marketing consultant, stepping in on his father's behalf when needed.

And this is not the first time Odom has shown his commitment to uplifting the community. He recently announced plans to open a drug and alcohol rehab facility in his hometown of East St. Louis, run by a black entrepreneur. It's heartwarming to see celebrities like Odom using their platform and resources to make a positive impact on society. We can only hope that more people follow in his footsteps and contribute to creating a better world for all.
