Swansea Substance Misuse Action Team (SMAT)

There are many positive things happening in Swansea to make our communities safer and reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drug ('substance') misuse.

The SMAT is a sub-group of the Safer Swansea Partnership and consists of 25 statutory and independent agencies.

It is the job of Swansea SMAT to provide specialist social and health care services to tackle local substance misuse. This means offering support and treatment to children, young people and adults.Offering such support is Government policy and the SMAT is proud to provide a wide range of innovative services to help those affected by alcohol and drugs, not least the children, families and carers of people who misuse.

The SMAT also works closely with other Safer Swansea partners to protect our communities from substance-related crime.

Thanks to very progressive Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) substance misuse policies and funding programme over the last 10 years, Swansea now has a rich mixture of preventative, educational and specialist treatment services.
These services are commissioned by the SMAT Commissioning Board and delivered by very experienced practitioners in locally based substance misuse agencies.

Newyddion Tim Gweithredu ar Gamddefynddio Sylweddau Partneriaeth Abertawe Mwy Diogel (SMAT)

Mae llawer o bethau cadarnhaol yn digwydd yn Abertawe er mwyn gwneud ein cymunedau'n fwy diogel a lleihau'r niwed a achosir drwy gamddefnyddio alcohol a chyffuriau (sylweddau).

Mae'r SMAT yn is-gr?p ym Mhartneriaeth Abertawe Mwy Diogel ac mae'n cynnwys 25 asiantaeth statudol ac annibynnol.

Gwaith SMAT Abertawe yw darparu gwasanaethau gofal cymdeithasol ac iechyd arbenigol i daclo camddefnyddio sylweddau'n lleol. Mae hynny'n golygu cynnig cefnogaeth a thriniaeth i blant, pobl ifanc ac oedolion. Mae cynnig cefnogaeth o'r fath yn bolisi'r Llywodraeth ac mae'r SMAT yn falch ei fod yn gallu darparu amrywiaeth eang o wasanaethau blaengar i helpu'r rhai sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan alcohol a chyffuriau, yn enwedig plant, teuluoedd a gofalwyr pobl sy'n camddefnyddio.

Mae'r SMAT hefyd yn gweithio'n agos gyda phartneriaid eraill Abertawe Mwy Diogel i amddiffyn ein cymunedau rhag troseddau sy'n ymwneud â sylweddau.

Oherwydd polisïau blaengar camddefnyddio sylweddau Llywodraeth y Cynulliad (LlCC) a rhaglen ariannu dros y deng mlynedd diwethaf, mae gan Abertawe amrywiaeth cyfoethog o wasanaethau ataliol, addysgol a thriniaethau arbenigol.
