A huge addiction recovery community in Tucson, Arizona, shuttered suddenly, leaving more than 200 people homeless as Arizona investigates widespread Medicaid fraud largely affecting Native Americans, authorities said.
A sober living Medicaid scheme victimizes as many as 8,000 tribal members, leaving many displaced as fake rehab centers shut down. FOX 10 Investigator Justin Lum went on a ride-along with Navajo Nation Police for "Operation Rainbow Bridge" to confront the crisis head on.
Squire said the city was working with the Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui tribes to find temporary shelter or treatment facilities where the former residents can stay. Neither Happy Times nor Ocotillo Apartments & Hotel appear on a list of Arizona providers that have been suspended by the state’s Medicaid agency.
"Our care management team was dispatched to work on-site with the City of Tucson, trusted behavioral health and crisis providers, and tribal nations to establish an appropriate plan that would allow us to triage each individual’s specific need," Capriotti said in a statement.
