Sheffield DAAT is a strategic team.  It works as part of the Safer Communities Partnership which includes representatives from Health, the Local Authority, Probation and the Police.  The DAAT is responsible for translating the Government’s National Strategies for treatment on drug and alcohol misuse into action.

The DAAT implements the National Drug and Alcohol Strategies by working with the Partnership, the agencies who provide substance misuse treatment, the people who receive treatment and their carers, to develop treatment services, and ensure that those who need treatment get it as quickly, easily and efficiently as possible.

There are 149 DAATs in England.  You can download a full list of ALL Drug Action Teams, along with their contact details, by clicking here (opens Microsoft Excel file in a new window - updated May 14th 2009 to include correct data and add in missing DATs)
