Lamar Odom has quietly begun a month-long stay at a Los Angeles treatment center after an arrest earlier this month, his team says. The former NBA star is taking time away to address health and recovery, a move his manager describes as deliberate and necessary.
Lamar Odom checks into a 30-day Los Angeles treatment program
Odom, 46, voluntarily entered a rehabilitation program at the iRely Recovery facility in Los Angeles. His manager, Gina Rodriguez, confirmed the decision and described it as a personal step to “reset and focus on his health.”

According to the statement, Odom chose the program to reflect on recent events and to work through triggers that have affected his wellbeing. He is enrolled for 30 days and has expressed gratitude for the support he’s received.
Arrest in Las Vegas and what the records say
Earlier this month, Odom was arrested in Las Vegas on January 17. Officials booked him on several traffic-related counts.
Charges listed
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding
- Improper lane change
He was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on March 17 to face the charges. Media outlets first reported the booking, and Odom’s camp later confirmed his decision to pursue treatment.
A long battle with substance use and the 2015 crisis
Odom has been public about years of substance misuse, which reached a critical point in 2015. That incident left him gravely ill after a drug-related medical emergency in Las Vegas.
Doctors later revealed he had suffered multiple strokes and heart attacks during the episode. Odom described surviving what he called a near-death moment and has repeatedly referred to his recovery as a second chance.

- Late January 2026: Enrolls in a 30-day program at iRely Recovery in Los Angeles.
Khloé Kardashian’s role during the crisis and after
When Odom was hospitalized in 2015, his then-wife Khloé Kardashian paused divorce proceedings and stayed by his side during recovery. Their marriage had spanned several years, and Kardashian has since spoken about the depth of her feelings and the limits of what could be fixed.
Odom has credited her presence with helping him regain memory and orientation after the medical emergency. He has said those moments were pivotal in his understanding of how serious his condition had become.
Odom reflects on roots of addiction and healing
Odom has linked parts of his substance use to difficult childhood experiences and trauma. He has described working through those issues as ongoing and said recovery is a process rather than a destination.
His manager’s recent statement framed the rehab stay as a proactive choice. Odom acknowledged responsibility for his recent behavior and is pursuing treatment to stabilize his health.
Where to find help for substance use
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, there are national resources available. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) operates a confidential helpline.
