The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has shut down Better Me Options Rehabilitation Center in Birikani, Kajiado East, for violating health and safety standards, in what marks the latest move in a nationwide crackdown on substandard rehabilitation facilities.

A multi-agency inspection led by NACADA's Compliance and Enforcement Unit and Public Health officials uncovered serious breaches at the facility, including poor sanitation, unqualified staff, and hazardous living conditions.
