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.

In their words

What our clients say

“Charlie Health succeeded where other programs failed me.”

Charlie Health provided me with an invaluable sense of safety and community as an LGBT+ person. It is so hard for people to seek mental health treatment to begin with and being a part of marginalized communities can make that even more difficult. Charlie Health succeeded where other programs failed me in making me feel safe and secure in my identity, and with connecting me with other people who shared my identities and struggles and could really empathize and provide helpful feedback.

—Emily B.

“I'm very grateful for the Charlie Health community.”

Charlie Health helped bring me back from a manic crisis. I've never considered group therapy, but at CH, it was welcoming and effective. Individual counseling helped me recover my mind and myself. Through family therapy, we began conversations we needed to have years ago. Psychiatry was also excellent. I got to try a new medication that I'm much happier with. I'm very grateful for the Charlie Health community!

—Christopher J.

“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.
