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.

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

In their words

What our clients say

“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.

“I feel much lighter than I did before.”

My mental health has been a weight for a while. At first, it felt like no one took me seriously. Sometimes it still does, but since seeking treatment, I feel much lighter than I did before. Charlie Health has helped me find wonderful friends and provided me with kind, wise people who listen to my problems and provide great feedback and advice. I enjoyed my time getting to know fellow group members and I feel a lot happier.

—Charlie Health Alum

“Now, as I leave, I feel as though I can function in life and maybe even thrive.”

When I started CH, it was week 8 and I was lost. I was at a point in my life where I knew I needed help and I couldn't survive without it. Charlie Health introduced me to a group of people who are now my family, and I know we will always be connected. Because of that, I grew through the groups, learning coping mechanisms, breathing exercises, and even EMDR! This has brought me out of myself and helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, as I leave, I feel as though I can function in life and maybe even thrive. I know I can do this, and I accredit that to Charlie Health!!
