Summary

SISCO’s Multiple Pathways to Recovery programme was set up to offer a road to substance use recovery for prisoners in Scotland. Initially working with the Scottish Prison Service, SISCO identified gaps in service provision by listening to the experiences of prisoners. The programme aimed to ensure that prisoners could access care and support during their stay in prison. They took a whole person and trauma informed approach to ensure the model’s impact was effective and sustainable.

Since 2017, the service has evolved and now supports people in prison, at liberation and within the community. They achieve this through person-centred and responsive interventions which focus on the immediate needs of the person.
