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
“Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it.”
When I started going to group sessions at Charlie Health, I didn't think anything was going to change. I have always struggled with mental health and figured that was just how my life was going to go. However, I am happy to say that it has changed my life for the better. Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it. I appreciate everything I have learned while attending this program. It showed me that committing to yourself is worth it. We can find the time for ourselves if we look for it. We deserve to heal, and we do heal. Charlie Health is a major supporter and catalyst for healing. I appreciate the time I have had, all my group mates, and every facilitator I have met.

“I began Charlie Health unemployed with no clear future, and now I’m a graduate student with a job.”
I came into Charlie Health absolutely depressed and anxious, with no signs of hope. Slowly, I gained the tools to defend myself more often, make new friends, and take healthy steps toward bettering my life. I went from getting physically ill from all of my stressors to handling my stressors head-on. I finally have some semblance of hope. I began Charlie Health unemployed with no clear future, and now I’m a graduate student with a job. I’m grateful for all of my group facilitators who gave me the tools for success, and incredibly thankful for Ryan, my therapist, for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

“Groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills.”
Charlie Health was an amazing program to bridge my time in mental health inpatient care to my day-to-day life. I had the most thoughtful individual therapist which truly gave me hope in the mental health system. The process and alternative therapy groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills. The care team is extremely responsive, which never made me feel alone. I am so grateful for this program and would recommend to any young adult who is looking to transform their mental health journey.
