Delonte West Reportedly ‘Roughing it Out’ Detoxing in Rehab

Rehab is a place drug addicts never want to go.  But it’s always a step in the right direction, even if Detox can be brutal.

Former NBA guard Delonte West is reportedly “doing fine” during the initial phase of his stay at a treatment facility.

TMZ Sports reported Tuesday that West is “roughing it out” during the detox process, which removes all traces of drugs and alcohol from people’s systems, but sources close to him told TMZ they’re happy with his progress during the early stages.

The former Mavs guard then agreed to enter a rehabilitation clinic in Florida.

After he completes the detox process, he’ll be moved to a new facility where the focus will be “mental health and long-term sobriety programs,” per TMZ.

West last played in the NBA during the 2011-12 season with Dallas. Hopefully he’s on the road to recovery.
