Our Mission
The mission of Texas Health Springwood Center Southwest Fort Worth is to improve the mental health of the people in the communities we serve.

Our Services
The center offers intensive outpatient services for adults and adolescents with behavioral and addiction issues. To accommodate busy schedules, our programs are held during the day and in the evening, with some programs offering weekend components. Patients can be referred to the Texas Health Springwood Center by a physician, therapist, EAP counselor, or through self-referral.

Adult Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program
The Adult Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program is for patients who require more intensive treatment than individual therapy, but do not require inpatient services. The counselors will work with the patient, the patient's family members and the patient's referral source, such as physician and/or therapist, to achieve individualized treatment goals. This program is approximately three hours a day and has been designed to balance treatment requirements with work, education and home-life schedules.

The program consists of:

• Cognitive behavioral group therapy
• Patient and family education
• Educational groups on a variety of topics
• Treatment and discharge plans coordinated with referring clinicians and physicians

Adult Addiction Treatment Intensive Outpatient Program
The Adult Addiction Treatment Intensive Outpatient Program is for patients who do not require inpatient medical detoxification. Chemical dependency counselors will work with the patient, the patient's family members and the patient's referral source, such as physician and/or therapist, to achieve individualized treatment goals. This program is approximately three hours a day and has been designed to balance treatment requirements with work, education and home-life schedules.

The program consists of:

• Group counseling with a 12-step basis
• Specific groups addressing chemical dependency issues, disease concept, and relapse and recovery
• Patient and family education
• Treatment and discharge planning coordinated with referring clinicians and physicians

Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program
The Adolescent Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program is an after-school program that has been designed to balance treatment requirements with the patient's educational needs. It provides a safe, structured environment in which the adolescent can improve or regain coping skills to better meet the demands of family, school and society.

The program includes:

• Group therapies geared toward the adolescent population and their families
• Patient and family education
• Family therapy
• Treatment and discharge planning coordinated with schools and referral sources

Cardiac Intensive Outpatient Program
An estimated 40 to 65 percent of patients with a history of heart attack suffer from depression, which can worsen their disability from heart disease and increase their risk of dying threefold within six months.

Texas Health Springwood Center Southwest Fort Worth and Texas Health Springwood Center Allen now offer a unique intensive outpatient program tailored to meet the needs of heart attack survivors and other patients with coronary heart disease who become depressed.

The adult Cardiac Intensive Outpatient Program, one of many offered through Texas Health Springwood, addresses symptoms such as insomnia, appetite changes, social withdrawal, fear of death or adverse cardiac incident, hopelessness, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

"Antidepressants are often not enough for these patients," said Ramona Osburn, M.B.A., director of Texas Health Springwood Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford and the Texas Health Springwood Centers. "It is so important for these people to seek treatment for depression because it can worsen their symptoms and contribute to their disability from heart disease."

Patients often suffer from the psychological impact of a heart attack even after they've physically recovered, Osburn said. Studies have shown that 80 percent of patients with a co-occurrence of depression and heart disease improve if all their symptoms are treated with a combination of anti-depressants and individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy.

The program involves a time commitment of three hours a day, three days a week and is designed to help participants balance their treatment requirements with work, education and home-life schedules.

Patients may self-refer or be referred to the center by a physician, therapist, or an Employee Assistance Program counselor. The American Hospital Association recommends that all cardiac patients should be screened for depression.

Texas Health Springwood Hospital and Texas Health Springwood Centers all provide free screenings and assessments Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. To make an appointment, please call 817-355-7771. 

Springwood Program for Women
The Springwood Program for Women addresses the treatment of depression in women, including: postpartum depression, loss of a child (including miscarriage) and hormone-related depression. A counselor will work with the patient, the patient's family members and the patient's referral source, such as physician and/or therapist, to achieve individualized treatment goals. This program is approximately three hours a day and has been designed to balance treatment requirements with work, education and home-life schedules.

The program consists of:

• Cognitive behavioral group therapy
• Patient and family education
• Educational groups on women's issues
• Treatment and discharge plans coordinated with referring clinicians and physicians

The Texas Health Springwood Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. and is located at 7213 Red Hawk Ct., in Fort Worth.
