Former basketball player Lamar Odom last week admitted himself into a rehabilitation centre.
“He plans to stay for 30 days. It’s a substance abuse programme, but he was not abusing drugs when he went in. He is clean. This is a precautionary measure,” a source told People.
“He wants to stay clear and focused. With the divorce from Khloe [Kardashian] being finalised and the holidays coming up, he doesn’t want to slip up. He’s trying to take care of himself. He really wants to be better. His friends and family encouraged him to go in and he agreed and made the decision,” the source added.
Odom’s divorce from the reality TV star will legally be finalised later this week.
The two got married in September 2009 but marriage fell apart after Odom’s cheating scandal and drug relapse. Kardashian first filed for divorce in 2013. The two signed divorce papers in July 2015, but Kardashian called off their divorce following Odom’s near-fatal overdose in October 2015.
Kardashian reinitiated divorce proceedings in May, and according to court documents, their marriage will be legally terminated on Saturday.
