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

“The skills that I learned saved my life.”

My depression started really young, when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’ve dealt with so much since then—childhood sexual trauma, an eating disorder and then substance abuse. I flunked out of school and went on medical leave to find treatment. Charlie Health was the first thing I found. It’s given me the emotional maturity to handle hard things and I’ve gotten more emotional regulation, which is something I wish I had my entire life. The skills that I learned saved my life—my stressors are still there but how I react is completely different. It feels so good to have agency over my emotions, that's something I’ve never felt before.

—Demi

“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.

“A life-saver for so many families.”

Charlie Health is exactly what was missing in the mental health field. When I tell my patients and their families about all of the different interactive and customized groups and plans that they offer, they cannot believe that something like this is actually available. With most insurances accepted, it really has been a life-saver for so many families.
