For months, fraudulent sober living homes have targeted tribal communities across the western United States, including the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the Navajo Nation, coercing vulnerable Native American people into coming to facilities in Phoenix.

The Navajo Nation Police Department has received numerous missing persons reports that they have traced to addiction treatment centers in Arizona.
