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.

In their words

What our clients say

“I am in such a better place now that I have gone through the program.”

At first, I wasn't sure about Charlie Health. I didn't connect with the first group I was put into, but once I got switched to another group, everything was much better. Although some days were harder than others, Charlie Health has significantly helped me manage my depression and cope with my miscarriage. I am in such a better place now that I have gone through the program. I would highly recommend Charlie Health to anyone who is struggling.

“Charlie health gave me great resources to get myself out of a really dark place.”

Charlie health gave me great resources to get myself out of a really dark place. They guided me through what areas to practice and gave techniques on how to do so. It was also a great experience getting to listen to others in group and get to learn from their experiences. I was very happy with how well they helped me find the right treatment plan and group for me to best succeed.

—Molly T.

“I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm.”

For a long while, I'd been struggling with mental health issues, with suicidal thoughts and self-harm issues as a result of mental abuse. There was a big incident where I tried to severely harm myself. I was put into Charlie Health, and it was a good experience for me. I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm, and my family relationship have gotten better. The healing process is hard, but it gets easier by the month.
