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.

Our treatment programs, including our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), combine personalized care with peer connection to foster long-term healing.

In their words

What our clients say

“I now know that I am worthy.”

13 weeks ago, I was ready to take my life. I was ready to end it all. From the built up anger, pain, grief, everything I ever carried, I was ready to let it all go. It took a near-fatal overdose to finally realize I needed help. I was optimistic about this program, but I didn’t care to open up or to hear other people's opinions at first. After week one, though, I had my first break through because I finally admitted that I wear a mask to cover my pain up. But I don't have to. Having group therapy has made things easier. Having that support from people that deal with the same things as me and knowing I’m not alone in the world has been amazing. If you put in the work, I strongly believe you can achieve so many new things. You'll be able to be the real you. Because of Charlie Health, I now know that I am worthy.

“ So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success.”

Before beginning Charlie Health's IOP, I read testimonials talking about how CH saved their lives. I was hopeful but skeptical. This extra boost of support and 12 weeks of investing in this intensive program have single-handedly revived my life from just surviving to actually living. The DBT skills were so critical. The poetry activities during the experiential therapy hour allowed me to reflect and begin radically accepting my experiences. I have been able to grow and heal so much in terms of my perfectionism, need to control, experience in a toxic work environment, relationship with my parents, and co-dependency. So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success. I am grateful and looking forward to my future, my most authentic life, and being myself.

—Erin B.

“I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.”

Before Charlie Health I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn't know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn't know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. Now, I'm able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and most importantly the relationship I had with myself. I'm thankful for my experience and everyone I've met. I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.

—Katelyn W.
