Treatment is provided on a seven-day-a-week basis. While the specific treatment program is tailored to a youngster’s special needs,
the core program includes individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, all provided by licensed mental health professionals.
Milieu services include recreational therapy and social skills training with anger management and conflict resolution components.
Medication management by on-staff psychiatrists, expressive therapies, and substance abuse counseling are available as needed. All
youngsters are involved in the full time on-campus school program, with regular or special education services as appropriate. The on-
campus school is certified by the Virginia Board of Education.
The Treatment Team formally reviews progress towards goals monthly. The youngster’s Individual Therapist serves as Treatment
Team Coordinator. The therapeutic socialization and daily living program, known as Group Life, is at the core of the Graydon
experience. Through Group Life, youngsters learn and incorporate important interpersonal lessons: respect for self and others,
responsibility for one’s actions, and successfully resolving conflict. Graydon Manor uses a Phase System to help youngsters
understand how their behaviors and actions affect others, and all participate in a Social Skills curriculum that includes anger
management, problem solving, appropriate communication techniques, and empathy training.
Active family involvement is considered essential and includes family therapy, family education groups, and participation in specialized
activities. This program is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and licensed by
the Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services. Graydon Manor's inpatient residential
program is approved as a Virginia Medicaid provider.
