Aims
Sorted's aims are to promote access to stable and
quality drug and alcohol recovery reintegration, motivation
and life skills services for men, women and young
people from the wider Edinburgh area. Our clients
may have experienced physical and mental ill health
due to substance misuse relating to drugs and/or alcohol
and associated criminal behaviour. The Sorted Project
aims to prevent their exclusion from the world of
work, education, volunteering and training by assisting
with reintegration and improving motivation and life
skills. On the pathway of recovery, The Sorted Project
works with clients at the post-treatment, pre-employability
stage.
Integrated
Service Delivery Strategy
When
becoming established as an independent project, Sorted
worked hard to develop a unique Integrated Service
Delivery Strategy, which now underpins our ethos to
engage with the broadest possible range of clients.

Partnerships
Sorted has a broad reach into one of the most socially
excluded and isolated groups through a partnership
approach. Our partners include representatives from
the voluntary and statutory sectors, the private sector
and our communities. We realise that one size does
not fit all, which is why we offer group, one to one
and outreach and signposting provision. This is a
unique aspect of our service and in particular the
follow up service we provide, lasts until the client
moves on to their next stage.
Change
Referencing Prochaska & DiClemente's Stages
Of Change model, we work with clients who are
at the contemplation/decision/action stage. We maintain
strong partnerships with referral agencies should
clients require support due to lapse or relapse. We
ensure clients receive appropriate support for their
needs.
Results
The Sorted Project is a focussed project and has high
expectations of clients. Each client develops an action
plan to work to and their plan is regularly evaluated
in order to ensure their progress can be monitored.
This is not only motivating for the client, but for
Sorted staff too. The recovery journey is often a
long one and it is crucial to keep motivation up.
The action plan is an excellent tool which demonstrates
measured progress and positive outcomes.
