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
“I know now that I can love myself.”
Before I was in Charlie Health, I struggled with really bad anxiety and on-and-off depression. But throughout treatment, sharing with other people my age in group made me realize a lot. I know now that I can love myself even if others don’t and that I don’t have to be scared of everything. I really appreciate everyone who has helped me here at Charlie Health.

“Charlie Health gave me a different perspective on my mental health.”
I learned about Charlie Health after going to the emergency room when I was feeling suicidal. The social worker there told me about the program, and it sounded like the best option because I figured something intensive would be good for me. My individual therapist at Charlie Health gave me a different perspective on my mental health and pointed out some coping skills that I already had. I also really liked the group aspect. Having other people around was very helpful. I learned a lot from their contributions.

“I finally feel like I can breathe.”
I have been struggling with PTSD and anxiety my whole life. I have been working so hard to better myself and I finally feel like I can breathe. I had undiagnosed autism when I got here, and the diagnosis literally changed my life for the better because so many things were answered and my life makes sense thanks to CH.
