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 plan to bring this newfound confidence into the rest of my life using the skills I've learned.”
I knew that I needed longer-term help than a short hospital stay could provide. I then found Charlie Health, whose virtual groups really appealed to me, given my current work and home life. From the first group session I attended, I connected with people, made a few real friends even, and was able to focus on my growth knowing I could open up to people who really understood me. I got out of my shell. I plan to bring this newfound confidence into the rest of my life using the skills I've learned and remembering the growing support network I've made. Thank you, Charlie Health, for everything that you do.

“You should join if you need intense therapy.”
I’d recommend this program to people I care about, so you should join if you need intense therapy.

“The group really gave me validation and helped encourage me.”
I came to Charlie Health via a referral from previous care. What I noticed in my past treatment is that there are people coming in for all sorts of different reasons. At Charlie Health, I was placed in a group that I was much more easily able to relate to. The group really gave me validation and helped encourage me to take the steps I needed for my mental health. Also in my previous treatment, I didn’t have individual therapy, so coming to Charlie Health, the combination of encouragement from group members and the trauma-processing in individual therapy helped me get to a much better point in my recovery journey.
