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 andsupport 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 works if you want to get better and put in the work.”
I was really struggling with a lot of things before I came to Charlie Health. I came here feeling iffy about it. I didn't want to talk about the things going on, but after the first week or two I started opening up to my group members and facilitators, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a mom to 3 beautiful babies and was struggling with addiction and being able to handle things. Being a mom is hard and I didn't know how to deal with my emotions in a healthy way. I'm learning new things everyday -- being able to deal with life on life's terms. I'll be 100 days into my sobriety as of tomorrow and feel more confident in what I'm doing everyday. I'm making strides and have everybody in Charlie Health to thank for helping me through the past few months. Charlie Health works if you want to get better and put in the work! If I ever needed to come back, I know they'll still be here. I'm so grateful for Charlie Health, my group members, and amazing therapists and facilitators.

“So many people are willing to guide you and to give you a universal reminder: You are not alone.”
When I first entered Charlie Health, my initial thought was that I'd probably be stuck here or worse: I'd end up in a facility or dead. My mental health was at an all-time low. I was harboring so much resentment, anger, and sadness over everything. What was worse was that my whole family seemed to have those same feelings aimed in my direction because of what led me here. Initially, I was reticent when participating in groups. I didn't know how to act. How to be. In my mind, there had to be a perfect way. But over time, that mask fell. Weeks went by, and I started to come out of my shell, going from a hardened, disturbed person to someone who could somehow see the good in everything. Granted, there are still things that have been happening to me offscreen that I can't control. But, because of Charliehealth, I'm much stronger. I can use the skills and techniques I've learned over the last few months to combat all of those negative thoughts and experiences as they happen. That's not to say there wouldn't be any struggling. Struggling is a part of that process. But it's a matter of continuing to push through that blizzard, those waves of emotions that will help you see the journey through. That's how I continue to look at it, even after discharge. Nothing, especially letting go, is never easy. Here, however, so many people are willing to guide you and to give you a universal reminder: You are not alone.

I came to Charlie Health after a rather dark time in my life. Through the program, I was able to learn a lot of tools to help me better cope with the hard things life throws at you.
