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

“I am confident in my ability to tackle life.”

When I started Charlie Health, I was really struggling. The people here made me feel like I wasn't alone. They helped me ask for help when it got too hard and were here to pick me up when I was down. The people here are wonderful human beings who truly care about the work that they are doing. As I'm leaving Charlie Health, I am confident in my ability to tackle life. I believe that I have a purpose and a long life ahead of me.

—Samantha S.

“I'm very grateful for the Charlie Health community.”

Charlie Health helped bring me back from a manic crisis. I've never considered group therapy, but at CH, it was welcoming and effective. Individual counseling helped me recover my mind and myself. Through family therapy, we began conversations we needed to have years ago. Psychiatry was also excellent. I got to try a new medication that I'm much happier with. I'm very grateful for the Charlie Health community!

—Christopher J.

“The group therapy helped me learn new skills to use and relate to others going through similar issues.”

When I started, I had just come out of inpatient treatment and had lost all hope in my life. The group therapy helped me learn new skills to use and relate to others going through similar issues. Individual therapy helped me process how I was feeling and helped me identify why I may be feeling the feelings I have. It also helped me come up with ways to shift my focus so I could maintain a stable mood.

—Daphne W.
