The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has shut down another Better Me Rehabilitation Centre in Isiolo County due to severe patient abuse and violations of rights. This closure follows a similar facility shutdown in Meru County just yesterday, indicating a nationwide crackdown on non-compliant rehabilitation centers.

• A multi-agency team found a minor subjected to torture and patients in overcrowded rooms, poorly fed, and sleeping on floors.
• The facility lacked qualified medical or counseling professionals, featuring only two untrained interns and a security guard.
• NACADA CEO, Dr. Anthony Omerikwa, issued a stern warning against rogue operators and announced a relentless nationwide crackdown.
