French Montana, who has been in sobriety for over two years, is constantly making efforts to help others fight drug and alcohol addiction. The rapper recently launched NAQI Healthcare, in partnership with Guardian Recovery Services, to provide a medically supervised in-home detox program for people struggling with substance abuse. And now, in a recent interview, the 37-year-old has shared what inspired him to get sober and eventually help others get sober too.

In an episode of 'PEOPLE Every Day' podcast, the rapper spoke about the impact of Mac Miller's death on him. While talking to Janine Rubenstein, he said, "It touched me because I'm in that space and I consider these artists as my brothers and my family. And when we lose one, it's like damn near losing part of us," while adding, "I've been thinking about this for a very long time. What can I do to help?"

Montana continued, "They say [alcohol] is the easiest thing to get into and it's the hardest thing to get rid of. It's a slippery slope. Every time you celebrate, you're having to drink. You have your own vices and after a while, that becomes an everyday thing. It becomes an addiction. [Pills] can sneak up on you, too&nbsp;when you go to the doctor for a pain in your leg or your tooth is hurting, they give you Vicodins or Percocets. Before you know it, you're feeling good, and you keep taking them [when you don't need them anymore]. And opiates are one of the most dangerous things to get addicted to oxys, all of those."

"It starts from a fun place but you end up in these situations and you can't shake it off yourself, because it's dangerous [to detox cold turkey]," he shared. "In the past 20 years, the overdose level has doubled. Especially with artists, especially with different people that don't like to [be] open with their problems."

Montana then shared how NAQI Healthcare can help people dealing with addictions. Since his company offers at-home detox&nbsp;programs for all types of addictions, people can be treated discreetly at private locations.

The program is currently available in four U.S. states, i.e. Florida, New York, Texas and California. The rapper plans to expand in the future.

"I'm very excited and very happy that we can cure people, especially in the comfort of their homes. A lot of people are private. When you go through your problems, you want to stay private and you want to be taken care of wherever you're comfortable. We want to help people stay alive as much as we can, wherever they're comfortable," he concluded.

French Montana has often spoken about his struggles with alcohol addiction. He was also addicted to some&nbsp;prescription drugs which he stopped taking after the shocking death of Mac Miller and&nbsp;a two-week hospital stay that ultimately got him sober in 2019.

French Montana reveals Mac Miller's death inspired him to launch NAQI Healthcare

Three accused drug dealers who prosecutors say supplied rapper Mac Miller with the counterfeit oxycodone laced with fentanyl blamed in his fatal 2018 overdose were indicted on federal drug distribution charges on Wednesday. 
 
Investigators say Miller, 26, born Malcolm James McCormick, died at his home in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Studio City after crushing and snorting the pills. An autopsy found he had suffered an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol. 
 
"It has become increasingly common for us to see drug dealers peddling counterfeit pharmaceuticals made with fentanyl. As a consequence, fentanyl is now the No. 1 cause of overdose deaths in the United States," US Attorney Nick Hanna said in announcing the federal grand jury indictment. 
 
"These defendants allegedly continued to sell narcotics after Mr. McCormick’s death with full knowledge of the risks their products posed to human life," Hanna said. 
 
Cameron James Pettit, 28, Stephen Andrew Walter, 46, and Ryan Michael Reavis, 36, had each already been arrested separately on drug charges over the past month and are being held in federal custody. 
 
The indictment, handed down by a U.S. District Court grand jury in Los Angeles, accused them of conspiring to distribute the fentanyl-laced pills. Walter is also charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition. 
 
Walter's lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment. It was unclear who was representing the other two defendants.

Counterfeit pills, According to court documents, Miller asked Pettit for 10 'blues'&nbsp;- shorthand for oxycodone - as well as Xanax and cocaine, on the night of Sept. 4, 2018. 
 
But prosecutors say the pills that Pettit gave him were counterfeit, containing fentanyl, a cheap, relatively easy-to-synthesize opioid painkiller 50 times more potent than heroin. Walter is accused of supplying the pills to Pettit, using Reavis as a courier. 
 
Miller was found unresponsive at his home on Sept. 7 and pronounced dead at the scene. Pettit and Walter were scheduled for a post-indictment arraignment on Oct.10. 
 
Reavis, who was taken into custody at his home in Lake Havasu, Arizona, will be sent to Southern California for further proceedings, prosecutors say. 
 
The Pittsburgh-born Miller won a following as a teenager and topped the Billboard album charts with his 2011 debut album, 'Blue Slide Park'.&nbsp;He was posthumously nominated for a Grammy for his final album, 'Swimming'. 
 
Miller dated pop star Ariana Grande for two years before they split in May 2018 and she sings affectionately about him on her hit single 'thank u next',&nbsp;using his given name, Malcolm.
