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

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

Hi Jo, we are very sorry to read about the distress you and your daughter experienced. We take concerns regarding safety and wellbeing extremely seriously. At Acquiesce we are committed to going above and beyond to support the people who we work with.
To protect the confidentiality of everyone who uses our service, we cannot discuss an individual’s care or the circumstances surrounding their discharge publicly. However, decisions about whether a placement can safely continue are based on risk, the person’s needs and whether these can be appropriately supported within the scope of our service. Where a person requires a higher level of mental health intervention, we work to involve the appropriate emergency or specialist services.
We would genuinely welcome the opportunity to review your concerns fully, including those relating to communication and your daughter’s belongings. Please contact our Service Manager directly so that we can investigate and respond through the appropriate confidential process.

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.

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

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 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.
