We offer holistic support that’s tailored to your needs.

We know that your drug and/or alcohol use is probably a small part of a bigger picture, which is why we work with you on both an individual and group basis to provide the support that’s right for you. This might include finding other places to get you support for your health and wellbeing. We are happy to talk to you face-to-face, online, over the telephone, or whatever way suits you.

Advice and support

We think it's important to look at your support in a more holistic way where we look beyond your drug and/or alcohol use and see it through a more health and wellbeing focus and positive behaviour change.

We believe in achieving the NHS's Five Ways to Wellbeing:

  • Connect
  • Be active
  • Take notice
  • Keep learning
  • Give
Read more about the 5 ways to wellbeing

Why do we think this way? Well, it's simple.

Imagine you have a toolbox. Now, to have a fully functioning toolkit that allows us to make positive and healthy choices, we need to have it filled with the right tools. Maybe, over time, we have lost some of those tools. These could be one or two of the five ways to wellbeing, or it could be our coping skills, or the ability to make and stick to positive goals.

ReNew will assess this imaginary toolkit, and help you to develop the skills, attitudes and behaviours that you need to create positive change.

One of the first steps is to look at your current drug and/or alcohol use. Take our short quizzes to get an idea of whether you may need further advice or guidance.

Alcohol quiz

Take our quick quiz to understand how much you’re drinking and get advice. Some of the questions will ask you about units of alcohol. Click ‘Unit Guide’ for help.

Drugs quiz

For this quiz, ‘drugs’ means non-medical drugs, and prescription and over-the-counter drugs if you’re using more than the instructed amount. It does not cover alcohol or tobacco.

Your answers should only be about your drug use over the last 12 months.

Your first visit

A friendly member of staff will always greet you when you arrive. If you want to bring a friend, family member, carer or significant other, please feel free. We want you to be as comfortable as possible as we know it can be daunting going somewhere you have never been before and not knowing what to expect. Please bring along anything that you feel might be helpful, such as an alcohol or drug diary, or information on any medication you are taking.

So that we can work together with you to build your health and wellbeing plan, we will ask for a bit more information on what support you may need at your first appointment. 

Each appointment after that will focus on your agreed plan. This will be the same whether we see you face-to-face, online, over the phone or whatever communication method you choose.
