WestCare is a nationwide family of nonprofit organizations delivering behavioral health and human services. Founded in 1973 as a single therapeutic community for men in Las Vegas, Nevada, the organization now operates across 16 U.S. states and four U.S. territories, with additional programs in the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Palau. Its stated purpose is to uplift the human spirit and to help those it contacts engage in healing, growth and change for themselves, their families and their communities.
The organisation's work spans a continuum of care. Services include substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation, mental health and wellness programmes for adults, adolescents, families and Veterans, emergency support for people in crisis, housing opportunities, and education and prevention initiatives. It also runs criminal justice behavioural health programmes and domestic violence services, with specialised provision for Veterans.
WestCare concentrates on populations that are often considered difficult to treat, including indigent clients, people with multiple and co-occurring disorders and those involved with the criminal justice system. Its clinical approach is described as person-centred and trauma-informed, and the organisation has been recognised for clinical excellence and collaborative innovation.
