Acquiesce 2 – Manchester

Acquiesce was a complete life changing experience for me! All of the staff are incredible and showed me nothing but kindness, understanding and encouragement. I learnt so much and felt so at home and will be forever… grateful for my time there. I’m living a different life now.. sober and engaged and it’s all down to Acquiesce. Thank you to everyone there who helped me find myself after years of addiction 🙏❤️

I really appreciate everyone at acquiesce for the way they run the centre day to day. The sessions are very informative and I left in a much better place than I have been for years. Special thanks has to go out to… Danni! She brightened up every morning and it was always the best way to start they day. I met some incredible people as well along the way. A huge thankyou again for giving me the support and tools to get my life back.

I spent 28 days at Acquiesce. The team and their approach to rehab was perfect for me. It felt like a home from home. The counselling and support was life changing, and the requirement to be self sufficient in the house… has helped me get my life back on track. Thank you once again Acquiesce x Love Janet x

Attended here for quite a while. Absolutely amazing staff with a great attitude towards rehab. All the staff are amazing and the programme is excellent. Thank you everyone at team acquiesce.

My daughter attended last year. Do not send your children here if they self harm as they will be discharged at 10oclok at night and the duty of care afterwards resulted in my daughter being in hospital as they refused… to tell me where she had gone. Let down kept some of her possessions. Duty of care not. Still picking up the pieces don’t waste your money if mental health is involved as I was told they did not have the staff to deal with her self harming so why take her in the first place. All hope was gone let down yet again by people who promise to help them

Well I can’t say anything but good things about Acquiesce. The staff were all amazing from start to finish, Liz was my practitioner and I couldn’t have asked for anyone more well suited for me. Big shout outs to Tony,… Ellie, Tina, Steve, Janine and Aidy too! All were brilliant but I loved having Danni, she was always so happy and up lifting. And on a Sunday you get the Margaret Mary experience… what a woman! Words don’t do her justice! The 28 days fully prepared me for the hard work which starts when you leave, you’re equipped with the tools, the knowledge and the advice of people previously in addiction. At the end of the day, you will only get out what you put in but if you are willing to change and want a better life going forward, there’s no better place to start that journey than Acquiecse.

Great staff excellent service throughout my rehab Elle Tina liz Tony ste Leslie mior yoga teacher and Margaret mary

I just wanted to thank you all for a truly transformative experience which wouldn’t have been possible without the absolutely magnificent help and support I have received from every single one of you at Acquiesce. When… I arrived, I was lost, scared, and hopeless. Today I leave feeling happy, hopeful and most of all grateful. In short, you guys and all the peers I met along the way, have given me my life back. I know that there’s a lot of hard work ahead, but for the first time in years, I’m genuinely excited about the future. My time at acquiesce is an experience I’ll never forget, and one I will do my very best to honour by choosing a life of sobriety over the misery of addiction and by trying to help others to recover in the same you’ve helped me. Thank you all for the bottom of my heart Adam Fligiel

Thorough rehab programme and knowledgeable friendly and caring staff, would recommend without reservation!

I came to Acquiesce a broken man with no hope. I was very sceptical about going to rehab because I had no idea what to expect, and I genuinely believed that nothing could work for me. Within just a couple of hours of… arriving and meeting the staff and my peers, I felt at home. Everyone was so kind, warm, and welcoming. I left a week ago today and can honestly say that I believe Acquiesce has saved my life. I feel like a completely new man. This isn’t a magic pill, but if you accept the help, guidance, and support that’s on offer here, you’ll give yourself every chance of overcoming addiction. The staff are incredible and always willing to help. Any questions or concerns are met with care, understanding, and genuine compassion. I left Acquiesce with a whole new family, a renewed sense of hope, and a bright light at the end of what once felt like a very dark tunnel. Thank you for everything, guys. ❤️

I stayed at Acquiesce for 6 weeks and honestly had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely cared about everyone there. They created such a safe and welcoming… environment, which made a huge difference during my stay. The sessions were excellent — really well run, helpful, and engaging. I felt listened to and supported throughout the whole process, and I came away with tools and confidence that have genuinely helped me. The house itself is absolutely stunning, and the rooms were always clean, tidy, and comfortable. It’s such a peaceful place to focus on recovery and wellbeing. I’m so grateful for everything the team at Acquiesce did for me and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for support in a caring and professional environment.

My experience in Acquiesce was excellent. It's by far the best treatment facility I have ever been in. The staff were great and the educational/therapeutic groups were fantastic too. I learnt so much about the nature of… my addiction and how it manifests within me. Acquiesce gave me all of the tools I need to live life clean and sober. I can't thank Acquiesce and all of the staff enough for what they have done for me. I highly recommend Acquiesce to you if you are in need of help within addiction. 🙂

I have recently finished my 4 week program at Acquiesce rehab in Bolton and it has honestly changed my life for the better and got me out of a hole I could never see a way out of before , all the staff are so welcoming… , loving and understanding people and help you in every way possible from walking through them doors even to after leaving still checking in on me , the facilities are great , the activities you do while being at the centre and the accommodation is also very nice and cosy , I’ve met some great people while being there who I can now call my friends and has started a new page in my life , I’m forever grateful for the staff at Acquiesce rehab , much love from Harrison

I knew from its reviews Aquiesce would be good, but it was so much more. It was brilliant.I’m sober, happy, contented, emotionally positive, trusted by family and friends, admired for ‘sorting myself out’ and engaging… in life. I could not have achieved this without the excellent practitioners and staff whose knowledge, understanding, patient, empathy, care and devotion was to get us started on our road to recovery. Each session was aimed at preparing us for life in the real world without mind changing substances, understanding the reasons why some people suffer from the disease of addiction plus so much more invaluable information.I learned so much about myself and my addiction. I’ve made lifelong friends from my happy time at Acquiesce, sharing life stories with peers and making arrangements to meet up. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it is to go to bed each night with a clean conscience and contentment. I also have a comprehensive program to follow to keep me sober. Here’s to life.”

I spent five weeks at Acquiesce Rehab, and it genuinely changed my life. The programme is varied, engaging, and really well-structured. The staff are not only highly professional, but also incredibly kind, supportive,… and always there when you need them. I felt truly cared for every step of the way. They also supported me through my ADHD diagnosis and kept my mum updated throughout my treatment, which meant so much to both of us. A huge part of my journey was the people I met there — the peer support made such a difference and helped me feel understood and never alone. If you’re looking for help with addiction, I honestly can’t recommend Acquiesce Rehab enough. It’s a place that helps you rebuild, heal, and move forward with hope.

My experience with Acquiesce has been nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding clear, compassionate, and genuinely reassuring. I always felt completely safe knowing my… partner was in their care, and what meant even more was that they cared about me too. They took the time to guide me through everything, offering practical support that made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. I never felt left in the dark, and I never felt alone. The way they supported my partner with structure, kindness, and real expertise has truly set him up for long‑term success. I’m deeply grateful for everything they’ve done for both of us.

Having been to multiple rehabs, I can say with absolute certainty that Acquiesce was the best by far. Their more relaxed approach to both educating you on the brain and body, alongside teaching you tools and coping… mechanisms to maintain sobriety is both unique and interesting. You never repeat the same session twice, and this keeps the days fresh and exciting. The staff are incredibly friendly and will always be there for you, whether you are struggling or of you simply have a question or a request. The house in which you stay is kept to a really high standard, the rooms are large and comfortable, big double beds and a large kitchen, large sitting room and even a nice garden. It really does become a home away from home. The sessions are always run in an organised and well thought out way, you'll find you take something away from each session. Most importantly for me, Acquiesce is the place that actually got me clean and for that I will be forever grateful.

Staff are absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable. The sessions were relevant and easy to understand with participation where possible. Thank you you all for your help and giving me the tools to live sober and helping… me learn about myself

Completed 28 day programme at acquiesce and have been in deep addiction for 10 years, what has stood out is the staff they are a credit to this place down to earth genuine people who really do want the best for clients… if you really do want change and put in what you want out of it I feel I’m walking away a completely different man to the man that walked in and am genuinely ready to live life and sobriety to the full potential they have made me see I can have so thanks you to all ❤️ see you in 6 months time 👍

Attended Acquiesce in 2018, still clean and sober today. I often get asked have you ever relapsed which I haven’t. I just followed what Acquiesce guided me to do, I have completely changed my life and my loved ones too.… Thank you Acquiesce.

The reviews are what originally drew me to Aquiesce - I’m now leaving my own 5* review. I had an incredibly positive experience at Acquiesce Rehab. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed, supported,… and genuinely cared for. Every member of the team is focussed on professionalism and compassion - they take the time to listen and tailor their approach to each individual’s needs, which made a huge difference in my recovery journey. The accommodation is excellent—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to create a calm, safe environment. The facilities are top-notch, offering everything needed to focus on healing, from well-maintained living spaces to relaxing communal areas and wellness resources. What truly sets Acquiesce Rehab apart is the quality of its program. It’s comprehensive, structured, and effective, combining evidence-based therapies with holistic approaches that address both physical and emotional well-being. The program challenged me in the best way possible while also providing the support I needed every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for my time there and would highly recommend Acquiesce Rehab to anyone seeking a professional, caring, and transformative recovery experience.

I attended Acquiesce Rehab for 30 days in November 2025. When I entered the rehab, I was broken, and could not break the cycle of drinking and using, even though I attended fellowships, had a sponsor, had written… warnings from work for not showing up, and was losing relationships with friends and family - nothing I tried to do to stop seemed to work. This week, I celebrated being 5 months clean and sober from drugs and alcohol. Acquiesce provided me with the tools and knowledge to go back into the real world and tackle the disease of addiction that I have head on. There isn't a magic cure for my illness, and Acquiesce doesn't have a magic wand to wave over you and make everything better, but they give you the foundations to be able to go out there and rebuild your life step by (12) step. I genuinely cannot thank the team at Acquiesce enough. The support, guidance, conversations and laughs provided by everyone there, including my practitioner, Simon, is something I will forever be grateful for. Tom

I have just completed an excellent 5 weeks experience with Acquiesce Rehab. From the very beginning, all the staff were professional, compassionate, and truly committed to my recovery. The practitioners took the time to… understand my specific needs and we worked a plan that made a real difference in my progress. The facility itself is clean, welcoming, and very well-equipped, which made every visit comfortable and stress-free. What stood out most was the supportive atmosphere — everyone genuinely cares about helping patients regain strength and confidence. Thanks to the team at Acquiesce Rehab, I’ve seen significant improvement and feel much more confident moving forward. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality rehabilitation services.

The only rehab ever to have received 2 outstanding ratings from ofsted and it's fully understandable 👏 the staff are exceptionally helpful and not just the practioners also including bank staff I originally planned on… doing 28 days but due to quality of service and progress I made mentally physically and spiritually I decided to extend another 14 days and then another 7 days as I had a lot of work to do due to the damage I had inflicted on myself through using cocain.The lifetime after care is fantastic and the 49 days I spent there were the most important thing I have ever done in my life or ever will do.I had depression and ptsd after losing my parents in a short period of time and having flashbacks of finding my father dead on the night I had one of those flashbacks it was a massive comfort to know that staff are on call all through the night to speak with and be offered guidance and loving support.Whilst at the treatment centre if ever you had a feeling of discomfort or anxiety etc you was allowed to excuse yourself and go and talk it through with a member of staff then rejoin the session when you was ready without any pressure.Each member of staff brings something different to the game they each have there own unique qualities and way of delivering a session which I really enjoyed and and it was also great that most had been through recovery thereselves.The fact they only accepted 12 people at a time was good because it meant a more personal touch individually and the wide choice of holistic therapies and sessions meant even if someone didn't enjoy 1 there was a wide selection and I loved the Reike and acupuncture but yoga wasn't for me.I will finish this review saying outstanding by ofsted outstanding by Steven Isherwood 💙 thank you from the bottom of my heart you will always have my love thanks and gratitude 🙏
