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 group therapy helped me learn new skills to use and relate to others going through similar issues.”
When I started, I had just come out of inpatient treatment and had lost all hope in my life. The group therapy helped me learn new skills to use and relate to others going through similar issues. Individual therapy helped me process how I was feeling and helped me identify why I may be feeling the feelings I have. It also helped me come up with ways to shift my focus so I could maintain a stable mood.

“Now I feel like I can handle anything that life throws at me.”
When I first started with Charlie Health, I was in a very dark place and having dangerous thoughts. But as life continued to bombard me with all of these stressors, Charlie Health gave me the tools and skills to deal with them. Although things kept getting worse, I kept getting better. Now I feel like I can handle anything that life throws at me! I will certainly miss my fellow group members and the facilitators, but I'm grateful for the time I've had with them and everything they've taught me.

“Now, as I leave, I feel as though I can function in life and maybe even thrive.”
When I started CH, it was week 8 and I was lost. I was at a point in my life where I knew I needed help and I couldn't survive without it. Charlie Health introduced me to a group of people who are now my family, and I know we will always be connected. Because of that, I grew through the groups, learning coping mechanisms, breathing exercises, and even EMDR! This has brought me out of myself and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, as I leave, I feel as though I can function in life and maybe even thrive. I know I can do this, and I accredit that to Charlie Health!!
