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 no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness.”
I didn't want to die, but I didn't know how to keep living anymore and I couldn't see a way out. How can I possibly describe what it means to no longer be stuck there? I no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness that that I have carried for 20 years? I wish I could sum up this experience in a small blurb, but some things can only be felt. Trust the process. Clichés exist for a reason.

“I found a great support system in Charlie Health and feel much better than I did when I first started.”
Charlie Health has been great. I was very skeptical at first and concerned about the amount of time I had to put into it, but it was completely worth it! Charlie Health gave me the skills to help myself when I am feeling down and my group members were so supportive -- especially once I found the right group; I will miss them all dearly. I found a great support system in Charlie Health and feel much better than I did when I first started. I endured a lot of big changes in my household that I could not handle, so my outside therapist recommended I try Charlie Health, and I'm glad she did. Feeling so alone and hopeless, I didn't know what to do, but as I progressed at Charlie Health, I learned coping skills and ways to turn my negative thoughts around. I see a difference in myself, my therapist sees a difference in me, and my family sees a difference, too. Charlie Health is a great program; if you keep an open mind and are willing to try, you will feel better every day. Of course, everyone has rough days, which is normal, but Charlie Health gives you the skills to cope with and handle those emotions. I cannot recommend it enough. Give it a try; if it doesn't work for you, you can always discharge. Just always remember to keep an open mind.

“I am no longer in crisis.”
Charlie Health was a great program to be apart of. I am very satisfied with the care and support I received. After some very traumatic events, I had thoughts of harming myself and started Charlie Health. I am so happy to say I am no longer in crisis and have gained many different skills to help me in times of hardship. I recommend Charlie Health to anyone who needs extra support and care.
