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
“I have already made amazing friends.”
I was in the Charlie Health IOP program in 2022. I spent the past year in recovery and have recently reconnected with CH through the Alumni resources. I have already made amazing friends and gotten so much support from both the program and my peers. There are so many options and Charlie Health is always open to feedback and growing their outreach and impact. I recommend that all Charlie Health graduates check out the Alumni Program for community, connection and care.

“The Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive.”
I remember one session, I was struggling with saying something because it was about how I have harmed someone before. I might have accidentally worded it as something that I was a victim of, but then I reclarified it. I was so terrified of the response I would recieve because a lot of people in this group had experienced a lot of bad things in their life at the hands of others. Instead, I was met with love, because I was able to admit that I was wrong and tell the truth of the situation. I know many sessions where someone felt as if they were alone and then others in the group talked about how they went through the same thing or that things will get better. If anything, the Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive, and one that I think would be great for anyone.

“I can't thank Charlie Health enough, I don't wan't to know where i'd be right now if I hadn't taken that leap of faith.”
When I stared Charlie Health 3 months ago, I couldn't leave my house. I couldn't get my own groceries, or drive a car, I wasn't able to bathe or take basic care of myself. My anxiety and depression left me feeling completely alone and hopeless.When I reached out to Charlie Health and was greeted by staff that showed me they cared, I saw a glimmer of hope that I've been clinging to ever since. It was difficult finding my footing in groups, but once I was sure it was a safe space and started becoming more vulnerable, that's when the real breakthroughs started happening. Being able to talk to my peers in a judgment free environment allowed me to process the really heavy stuff I've bottled up for so many years. I've learned so much about myself in so little time, and the connections I've made are truly genuine. I can't thank Charlie Health enough, I don't wan't to know where i'd be right now if I hadn't taken that leap of faith.
