What is IOP?

Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is a level of behavioral healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional weekly therapy.

The goal of IOP is to provide individuals with the support and treatment they need to manage their mental health issues and achieve lasting recovery, while still allowing them to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities.

Curated groups

By bringing young people with similar mental health challenges together, we’re able to create group environments where clients can learn how to build connections and foster long-term healing.

Individual therapy

One-on-one connections are critical to the IOP model, which is why each client’s unique treatment plan includes a primary therapist for weekly individual sessions.

Family therapy

The #1 predictor of success in IOP is family involvement. Our virtual intensive outpatient program’s family therapy component teaches communication and coping skills to create a more supportive home environment both during and after treatment.

In their words

What our clients say

“I have already made amazing friends.”

I was in the Charlie Health IOP program in 2022. I spent the past year in recovery and have recently reconnected with CH through the Alumni resources. I have already made amazing friends and gotten so much support from both the program and my peers. There are so many options and Charlie Health is always open to feedback and growing their outreach and impact. I recommend that all Charlie Health graduates check out the Alumni Program for community, connection and care.

“I was able to stay on campus while doing Charlie Health.”

I was at a really low point during my junior year of college, but I was able to stay on campus while doing Charlie Health. I could take care of myself in the morning, have a mid-day session, and then spend the whole evening doing extracurriculars. It felt too good to be true. Charlie Health taught me skills that I use every single day; things that I don’t even think about anymore. Now I can advocate in relationships and regulate my feelings.

—Sarah A.

I have been dealing with physical health issues that affect my mental health issues and through Charlie Health, I was able to help my mental health.
