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 was able to get quality care and experience many groups from the comfort of my home with my cat, my emotional support animal, and that made all the difference.”
Charlie Health has changed my life for the better. I was able to get quality care and experience many groups from the comfort of my home with my cat, my emotional support animal, and that made all the difference. Every facilitator was passionate and knowledgeable about the curriculum, which was also very helpful.

“I was very unstable and this program, specifically the group sessions, have helped me the most which was a shock to me.”
I have never tried group therapy before and was super hesitant and scared. After about 2 sessions with the group all of that changed. I am so happy to have met such wonderful people and hope to stay in contact after the program. I was very unstable and this program, specifically the group sessions, have helped me the most which was a shock to me as I was extremely scared of group.

“The Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive.”
I remember one session, I was struggling with saying something because it was about how I have harmed someone before. I might have accidentally worded it as something that I was a victim of, but then I reclarified it. I was so terrified of the response I would recieve because a lot of people in this group had experienced a lot of bad things in their life at the hands of others. Instead, I was met with love, because I was able to admit that I was wrong and tell the truth of the situation. I know many sessions where someone felt as if they were alone and then others in the group talked about how they went through the same thing or that things will get better. If anything, the Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive, and one that I think would be great for anyone.
