The near-fatal overdose caused him to re-evaluate his life, leading him to get sober.

"When God had saved me from that accident, I was trying to find my purpose — and I think I may have found it," he explained of his decision to invest in the facilities during a recent appearance on TMZ Live. "I know I have found it."
