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 andsupport 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 am very grateful to go through this program. CH has helped me cope with issues that led to my depression and anxiety.
—Micah J.
“Charlie Health saved my life.”
Before Charlie Health, I was really struggling with my anxiety. Going to work, doing daily chores and activities, getting out of bed, and even taking care of my basic needs was too much and too difficult for me. My anxiety led to bouts of depression and mania that cycled rapidly and left me exhausted. My medication management was very poor, and my therapist told me, "Your problems are beyond my capabilities." So, she suggested Charlie Health. I'm really glad I chose to call Charlie Health and participate in the program. I haven't felt this good in months. I have a new lease on life and feel so happy and understood. My anxiety is at an all-time low, and my depression, while still fluctuating, is manageable. I can go to work now without feeling crippling anxiety, and I can function day-to-day in ways I never thought possible three months ago. Charlie Health saved my life. I'm so happy.
—Jessica B.
“I finally feel like I can breathe.”
I have been struggling with PTSD and anxiety my whole life. I have been working so hard to better myself and I finally feel like I can breathe. I had undiagnosed autism when I got here, and the diagnosis literally changed my life for the better because so many things were answered and my life makes sense thanks to CH.
