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

“The skills that I learned saved my life.”

My depression started really young, when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’ve dealt with so much since then—childhood sexual trauma, an eating disorder and then substance abuse. I flunked out of school and went on medical leave to find treatment. Charlie Health was the first thing I found. It’s given me the emotional maturity to handle hard things and I’ve gotten more emotional regulation, which is something I wish I had my entire life. The skills that I learned saved my life—my stressors are still there but how I react is completely different. It feels so good to have agency over my emotions, that's something I’ve never felt before.

—Demi

“I connected with people and facilitators far more than I could have ever imagined.”

Charlie Health was a program I joined for a temporary experience while trying to find a permanent therapist. My expectations were low, and I went in with a clear idea of how I would feel about this experience. I had a wonderful time, and I am genuinely going to miss coming to groups in this program. I connected with people and facilitators far more than I could have ever imagined.

—Kassandra Naylor

“I came out with more than I would have imagined.”

I came to Charlie Health to help manage my anxiety and depression. My goal wasn't to be completely cured in 9 weeks but at least to learn skills to help me function in life. My goal wasn't to learn to love myself and the things around me; instead, I wanted to tolerate myself and those around me. I entered Charlie Health with my mindset on the bare minimum, but I came out with more than I would have imagined. I have been able to attend school, shower, brush my teeth, and eat consistently for the past 2-3 months. Yes, I still have moments of breakdowns and moments of self-hatred, but I don't go back two steps but instead stay in the same place and ready myself before I continue to take a step forward. I haven't regressed but progressed, which is the most important thing. I have benefitted greatly by being a part of Charlie Health and am hopeful for the future.

—Aubrey W.
