Psychiatric Services
At Shepherd Hill, our goal is to match the intensity of treatment with the severity of illness to ensure individualized care. We continually assess patients to determine when they can be safely moved to a less intense level. Shepherd Hill uses the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) placement criteria to determine appropriate level of care.
