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.

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

“My progression through this program has been visible within and outside of the program in all settings.”

Going into an intensive outpatient program (IOP) brought a sense of dread. However, I was definitely surprised. As someone who has a very complex past and trauma, I needed to find a program that was flexible with the ability to help me penetrate and begin breaking up the sedimentary construct that is my trauma and life experience. My progression through this program has been visible within and outside of the program in all settings. I am very honored and blessed to have found Charlie Health, and I will be forever thankful for everything they gave me.

“Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful.”

Charlie Health was incredibly helpful for me at a time when I was struggling so much with my mental health. The groups were amazing, and the support and validation from my fellow group members were so helpful and made me feel like I was not alone. The group facilitators were very helpful and compassionate, making learning about coping skills enjoyable. My primary therapist was amazing as well. He was very compassionate and understanding with everything I shared with him. Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful. I would recommend Charlie Health to anyone.

“My mom said, 'We have our Maddy back'.”

Charlie Health was very helpful for me. I was able to come off a lot of my medications that were causing my mental health crisis. My mood improved so drastically that my mom said, "We have our Maddy back." I learned so many self-care skills that I didn't even know before. My mom even learned a lot more about how I communicate and what I need. I have been able to communicate better with my medical team because Charlie Health has helped me be more open with them. I have been able to advocate for my needs better. For example, the care provider for my braces knows that I am more comfortable seeing him in my home and when I need to go into his office he schedules it at the end of the day so I do not get over stimulated. He allows enough time for my care in my home or in the office.
