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.

In their words

What our clients say

“The skills and exercises I've learned have already begun transforming my daily life, empowering me to embrace this new journey with newfound self-confidence.”

As a first-time mom, I knew changes were bound to happen; however, I did not expect these changes and feelings to impact me the way that they did. Stepping into therapy for the first time felt daunting, but Charlie Health has truly been a blessing. I can't imagine where I'd be without the support and understanding I've received. I'm deeply grateful for the safe space created for us to express our feelings and share our struggles, thoughts, and the realities of mom life. Reminding me that it is COMPLETELY normal to feel how I've been feeling. The guidance and encouragement from the team have been invaluable during these challenging times. I will forever be grateful to the team! The skills and exercises I've learned have already begun transforming my daily life, empowering me to embrace this new journey with newfound self-confidence. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and support. Together, we are building a happier future, one step at a time.

“I found a great support system in Charlie Health and feel much better than I did when I first started.”

Charlie Health has been great. I was very skeptical at first and concerned about the amount of time I had to put into it, but it was completely worth it! Charlie Health gave me the skills to help myself when I am feeling down and my group members were so supportive -- especially once I found the right group; I will miss them all dearly. I found a great support system in Charlie Health and feel much better than I did when I first started. I endured a lot of big changes in my household that I could not handle, so my outside therapist recommended I try Charlie Health, and I'm glad she did. Feeling so alone and hopeless, I didn't know what to do, but as I progressed at Charlie Health, I learned coping skills and ways to turn my negative thoughts around. I see a difference in myself, my therapist sees a difference in me, and my family sees a difference, too. Charlie Health is a great program; if you keep an open mind and are willing to try, you will feel better every day. Of course, everyone has rough days, which is normal, but Charlie Health gives you the skills to cope with and handle those emotions. I cannot recommend it enough. Give it a try; if it doesn't work for you, you can always discharge. Just always remember to keep an open mind.

“I made so many friends and memories along the way.”

Prior to Charlie Health, I had been hospitalized twice and had even been in an in-person IOP program. Even after the second hospitalization, I truly did not know if I would ever get my life back together. However, with the help of Charlie Health, I not only met my mental health goals, but I made so many friends and memories along the way. Memories that will last a lifetime. And that's the beauty of Charlie Health. Everyone here is so kind, caring, and only wants your best interest. It's one of the best experiences I've ever had. If you're ever struggling with mental health, Charlie Health is the best place to go.
