West Slope Casa (WSC), LLC is the Managed Service Organization (MSO) that is comprised of 21 counties on Colorado's Western Slope. Wholly owned by Colorado West Regional Mental Health Center, Midwestern Colorado Mental Health Center, and Southwest Colorado Mental Health Center, WSC was awarded the Colorado Alcohol and Drug Abuse (ADAD) contract for provision of substance abuse services in 1997. Since then, WSC has been designated the permanent MSO for the Western Slope, and as such has an experienced network of providers delivering a full continuum of substance abuse treatment modalities and related services. WSC provides clinical, fiscal, and contract oversight for the contracted providers, in addition to quality improvement activities and local training for addictions counselors through the West Slope Casa Training Consortium.

In a service area of 44,000 square miles comprised of mountainous and high desert terrain, WSC providers operate 41 offices with service modalities including intensive residential, halfway house, detoxification centers, a wide variety of outpatient programming, and specialized services for women, offenders, people with co-occurring disorders, and adolescents. Partnering with local stakeholders like social services, probation, and drug court, providers deliver accessible, affordable, and culturally relevant programming close to home for residents in remote, as well as populated areas.
