The homes and treatment centers are taking advantage of Native Americans and others suffering from addiction all for millions of taxpayer dollars
MESA, Ariz. — The Arizona attorney general has called it one of the biggest scandals in state history.
There have been situations in Mesa, Giles said where these treatment centers have purchased dozens of units in townhouses and then move people in to provide them with services that never actually happen.
