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.

In their words

What our clients say

Charlie Health has helped me tremendously. I never thought I could have achieved the goals I did in this short period of time.

—Brittany G.

“You are not alone in questioning yourself.”

I grew up fearing disappointment or failing to meet expectations. I then lived out my high school years feeling like I might disturb others in my classes and more. I feared being ostracized and forgotten, whether intentional or not. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone and I felt I needed to prove myself to them. But because of the unconditional support within this program and from those I've since learned to grow close to and love (like my friends and family), I question myself less. So believe me, you are not alone in questioning yourself. I hope people take the time for this program and speak their emotions out. May it be traumatic, depressing, painful, or confusing... whatever you are dealing with, know it’s okay to feel such feelings.

—Malachi P.

“I came out with more than I would have imagined.”

I came to Charlie Health to help manage my anxiety and depression. My goal wasn't to be completely cured in 9 weeks but at least to learn skills to help me function in life. My goal wasn't to learn to love myself and the things around me; instead, I wanted to tolerate myself and those around me. I entered Charlie Health with my mindset on the bare minimum, but I came out with more than I would have imagined. I have been able to attend school, shower, brush my teeth, and eat consistently for the past 2-3 months. Yes, I still have moments of breakdowns and moments of self-hatred, but I don't go back two steps but instead stay in the same place and ready myself before I continue to take a step forward. I haven't regressed but progressed, which is the most important thing. I have benefitted greatly by being a part of Charlie Health and am hopeful for the future.
