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
“If a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health.”
I didn't know what to expect when I first joined Charlie Health. I felt a lot of anxiety initially. Since going through my treatment, though, I've seen improvements, felt better, processed better, and overall started doing so much better than at the start. I'm grateful for Charlie Health, and if a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health and recommend it to friends and family.

“They had a program at a cost I could afford, was flexible enough to fit my wacky schedule, and provided the level of care that I needed.”
Charlie Health was there for me when I needed it. I was struggling really badly with my mental health and couldn't find a program that fit my busy schedule as a working professional. A provider recommended Charlie Health to me, and they had a program at a cost I could afford, was flexible enough to fit my wacky schedule, and provided the level of care that I needed. I am very grateful for Charlie Health!

“ So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success.”
Before beginning Charlie Health's IOP, I read testimonials talking about how CH saved their lives. I was hopeful but skeptical. This extra boost of support and 12 weeks of investing in this intensive program have single-handedly revived my life from just surviving to actually living. The DBT skills were so critical. The poetry activities during the experiential therapy hour allowed me to reflect and begin radically accepting my experiences. I have been able to grow and heal so much in terms of my perfectionism, need to control, experience in a toxic work environment, relationship with my parents, and co-dependency. So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success. I am grateful and looking forward to my future, my most authentic life, and being myself.
—Erin B.
