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
“Charlie Health gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations.”
Four months ago, I was in the darkest place that I've ever been in. I was struggling with my job, and the constant stress was causing me to experience the worst decline in my mental health that I've ever had. It was bad enough that I needed to go to the hospital for a few days. Since being discharged, I left my job as a hospital nurse, I started intensive outpatient therapy, and I finally made time to take care of myself. Charlie Health gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations. I was able to process aloud with my individual therapist and with others who are going through similar experiences. Now, I have a job that I finally feel will provide me with the balance that I was missing in my previous job.

“But then, about four and a half weeks in, the bubble popped, and I had my first “aha” moment. Things started to fall into place, and I felt human again for the first time in over two decades.”
I came to Charlie Health because I was at such a low place in my life; I felt I was dying with no way to stop the spiral and descent I was going down, but at the same time, I refused to go into another inpatient facility because of the negative, dehumanizing experience that I had before. In desperation, I reached out to a dear friend, and she recommended Charlie Health to me, so I made the call. I went in with very low expectations, and for the first few weeks, I felt I was wasting my time in these groups. But then, about four and a half weeks in, the bubble popped, and I had my first “aha” moment. Things started to fall into place, and I felt human again for the first time in over two decades. I started standing up for myself and advocating for the direction of my care. I stopped going into therapy with a prepared flowchart of how I needed the conversation to go and started truly healing. I let down my walls and shed many tears. I learned to be a human being again. I am truly thankful for my wonderful therapist, who helped me start healing the trauma I honestly thought I would never be able to heal from. I am also thankful to the plethora of group facilitators who brought unique flavors to each group they led. Most of all, I am thankful for the people I met along the way and wish kindness, love, and healing to all of them on their journeys.
