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
“Being in an environment where I could open up with no guards, meant the world to me.”
As someone who struggled silently for so many years, coming to Charlie Health and meeting so many others going through things I had, and being in an environment where I could open up with no guards, meant the world to me. I can say that there's been a lot of change in my perspective and awareness of my mental health that I couldn't have imagined without it.
—Arman Acevedo S.
“Charlie Health got me through so much healing.”
Coming into Charlie Health, I was in a very bad place. I had just moved across the country, it was Christmas time, I had just gotten out of a very toxic and mentally abusive environment, and I almost immediately got into Charlie Health. It made me feel connected to kids my age and helped me create fantastic relationships that I hope to have for the rest of my life. Charlie Health got me through so much healing. I'm so thankful and believe that it is a fantastic tool for those who are struggling.
—Charlie Health Alum
“I was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did.”
When I started at Charlie Health, I wasn't even aware of how low I felt. I was dealing with PTSD, overwhelming anxiety, and depression. I was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did, but I was wrong. I have made incredible friendships throughout this process and received support I wasn't aware I needed. After completing Charlie Health, my depression and anxiety symptoms are now considered moderate, which feels like a miracle.
