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.

“I have been at ease for the first time in my life.”
Charlie Health has genuinely helped me get out of my near-decade rut. I was given wonderful doctors, therapists, and groupmates. In the group, everyone was helpful and encouraging, as well as a fun outlet to socialize with. My primary therapist was friendly and understanding, and my psychiatrist prescribed me meds that have helped me tremendously. I was able to get a diagnosis for a handful of things that explained so much, and I have been at ease for the first time in my life.

“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!!
