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.

“I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress.”
I went into Charlie Health struggling with self-harm, severe chronic suicidal ideation, and unsure of my gender identity. Through the program and support in groups, I have been clean from self-harm, seen a decrease in suicidal ideation, and realized my gender identity with a lot of support. I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress in getting better.

“Asking someone for help isn’t giving up...its refusing to give up.”
Charlie Health has helped me through most of my mental problems. You just have to give them a chance. They can help teach you how to cope with anything. For example, I learned that if you're having a panic attack, you can use the tapping method. I learned that asking someone for help isn’t giving up...its refusing to give up. It may seem like you're a bother, but in reality it only makes your health better instead of bottling it up inside. Don’t stop believing in yourself you. You can get through this :)
