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

“I have never felt so happy with myself.”

I struggled very much with anxiety and panic disorder and depression. I was super nervous about joining Charlie Health but now that I have completed the program, I have never felt so happy with myself. I have been able to control my mental health and live my life.

—Charlie Health Alum

“I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm.”

For a long while, I'd been struggling with mental health issues, with suicidal thoughts and self-harm issues as a result of mental abuse. There was a big incident where I tried to severely harm myself. I was put into Charlie Health, and it was a good experience for me. I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm, and my family relationship have gotten better. The healing process is hard, but it gets easier by the month.

—Alice B.

“I feel so much stronger now than when I started.”

The heart of the program is the people. The resources and skills you learn are helpful, but you can find them elsewhere. The connections you can form with your group members is the real opportunity. I encourage anyone who joins the program to jump in with both feet and share with, open up to, and empathize with the group. The validation and support that you receive from other fully participating members is so healing. That's what saved me, I feel so much stronger now than when I started.

—Arianna V.
