Bam Margera seems to have shortened his stay at Lamar Odom's San Diego detox center.
The skateboarder, who has been in the wellness center for weeks, reportedly shortened his time there to travel to Las Vegas.
Weeks before, Margera went on a social media rant claiming he would binge on crack if he were not allowed to see his son Phoenix.

Bam Margera Checks Out Of Lamar Odom's Wellness Center
Per Daily Mail, Margera checked out of a San Diego detox center on Monday after he was put there on an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold.
The said center, which belongs to former basketballer Lamar Odom, housed the 43-year-old for a few weeks to get him clean.
However, Margera, who had vowed to get sober because of his son after his recent social media antics, seems to have scrapped those plans.
It was reported that he left the detox center to stay for a few days in Odom's home in Casablanca despite the former NBA player doing all he could to convince him to return to his wellness facility.
Margera then had an outing with his girlfriend, Jessica Dietzler, at Nobu Malibu on Thursday before heading to Las Vegas to spend the weekend. In the meantime, it is still being determined who he made the trip with and if he intends to return to the facility later.
Bam Margera Vowed To Binge On Crack Until He Sees His Son
Earlier in the month, Margera took to social media to complain about not being allowed to see his son, Phoenix.
As part of a profanity-filled video he uploaded at the time, the skateboarder vowed to binge on drugs unless he was allowed to see his child.
"I'm going to smoke crack with the bums down at the f**king boardwalk until I'm dead unless you deliver me f**king Phoenix," said Margera, who shares the kid with his estranged wife, Nicole Boyd.
He added, "Get to work, Nikki, or anyone that wants to help. I want Phoenix," he ranted on the uploaded video.
Margera also noted that he hasn't seen "Phoenix in two f**king months" and that being estranged from his son is "driving him to drink."
Nicole Boyd Filed For Legal Separation Earlier In The Year
In February, Boyd filed for separation from Margera after getting tired of his continuous abuse of substances and "to protect herself and their son."
She had separated unofficially from the former MTV star in 2021 and filed for full custody of her son that same year.
As part of the court documents, Boyd requested $15,000 in monthly child support payments alongside sole custody of their kids. She also demanded spousal support and $50,000 as fees for her attorney.
However, she allowed Margera to visit his son, provided the former "Jackass" actor finishes a stint in rehab and only visits under supervision.
Aside from the information seen via reports on the ongoing court case, Boyd has remained silent as regards her current relationship with her estranged husband.
Bam Margera's Legal Troubles Have Escalated In Recent Months
According to Page Six, an arrest warrant for Margera was issued by authorities last month following a "physical altercation" with his brother, Jess.
The altercation reportedly began when Jess caught Margera urinating in the kitchen sink of his own house. When confronted, Margera reacted impulsively and struck Jess in the face.
In March, the star of "Viva La Bam" was arrested in Los Angeles for public intoxication. During the arrest, he was heard yelling at Boyd, expressing his frustration with her demands for full custody of their son.
A week later, Margera was served with a temporary restraining order for allegedly making threats against an unnamed individual.
Despite his issues, Margera reportedly sent Boyd abusive texts since he checked out from the 5150 hold.
"Bam has started texting since his release from the 5150 hold, but the content quickly turned abusive, calling Nikki awful names, saying she is the cause of all his problems, even saying she's a "gold digger," Boyd's attorney David Glass said, per TMZ.
