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 and support 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 came to Charlie Health after a rather dark time in my life. Through the program, I was able to learn a lot of tools to help me better cope with the hard things life throws at you.

—Meghan-Marie H.

“I also love that there are free alumni groups to join after you graduate.”

Charlie Health has been an amazing experience, and I am so happy with all the people I met in group therapy (the facilitators and other group members). I also love that there are free alumni groups to join after you graduate. If I ever need group again, I will definitely come back to Charlie Health!

—Veronica H.

“My group sessions were the first group where I really felt heard.”

I truly benefited from my time here at Charlie Health. I made great connections. My group sessions were the first group where I really felt heard. The one-on-one therapy was truly unique and extremely appreciated. It made me take a deeper look into myself. I highly recommend Charlie Health; they are always willing to work with you.
