Jayson Williams says running his alcohol and drug treatment facility is a better job than being an NBA star.
Williams got sober ... and the experience made such an enormous impact on his life, the 50-year-old founded his own treatment program called"I'm no guru to this. I'm just a guy who's there telling my story, who's surrounded with a great 9-acre, 105-bed facility with the best doctors, the best psychiatrists, psychologists."
The program -- which treats everything from alcohol and drugs to food, sex and gambling addiction -- ain't your prototypical rehab center ... it's an adventure-based curriculum that uses paddle boarding, wave running, hydro boarding, scuba diving and even skydiving to beat addiction. "We do probably 19 different activities that you have never done in 30 days, and we do that to breakdown barriers, overcome anxiety, build self-esteem and break up the monotony."
Jayson says friends often tell him to leave Rebound behind and"go coach St Johns, get outta that, it's too much, it brings you down" ... but he says they're all wrong.
