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 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.
Who is IOP for?
People with ongoing mental health issues or in a mental health crisis
IOP is designed for individuals who need more treatment andsupport than can be provided through once-weekly therapy, but who do not require the level of care provided through residential or inpatient treatment.

In their words
What our clients say
“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health.”
Charlie Health helped me so much. Participating in groups with people my age, who have gone through the same stuff that I have, really made me feel connected and not alone. When everyone around you is fighting to make progress, you want to follow along too. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health. I’m going to miss this program, but I won’t come back to it. I’m not going to let everything I’ve done and worked towards here go to waste. I’m going to keep fighting until the battle is over, and I can raise my head in the mirror and tell myself that I’ve made it. Charlie Health, you change and save so many lives. Thank you so much for everything you did, and will continue to do.

“Asking someone for help isn’t giving up...its refusing to give up.”
Charlie Health has helped me through most of my mental problems. You just have to give them a chance. They can help teach you how to cope with anything. For example, I learned that if you're having a panic attack, you can use the tapping method. I learned that asking someone for help isn’t giving up...its refusing to give up. It may seem like you're a bother, but in reality it only makes your health better instead of bottling it up inside. Don’t stop believing in yourself you. You can get through this :)

“I didn’t get help with postpartum depression until Charlie Health.”
After my daughter was born, I knew that something wasn’t right with my mental health, but because I live in a rural area where you have to wait six or seven months to see a provider, I didn’t get help with postpartum depression until Charlie Health. I always used to feel like I wasn’t good enough as a parent, but now I know that I’m trying to be the best mom I can be. Charlie Health taught me how to regulate my emotions and put things in perspective, which has made it easier to help my daughter manage her own emotions.
