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 admire the patience, compassion, and devotion behind the program's mission. .”

The most important aspect of Charlie Health is how quickly I could access care and how forgiving the program is if you cannot commit the first time you enroll. If you can't, you can't, but you can always try again when ready. I cannot say the same thing about many mental health providers out there that have strong attendance policies that bar you from the entire practice if you do not comply. The simple fact is that you cannot grow in barren soil. I had to change many aspects of my life, which included exiting extremely toxic and volatile environments before I could sit down and focus on attending several hours of the group every week for several consecutive weeks. But when the seeds had finally sprouted, Charlie Health was there to help continue my growth. I admire the patience, compassion, and devotion behind the program's mission.

“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.

“Charlie Health made me feel like I wasn't alone.”

I have struggled with more in my life than I think anyone ever should, and sometimes my story feels like a bad supervillain's backstory, as opposed to mine. I have kept so many things hidden from people in my life for my whole life, and almost no one knows everything about me and my past. But the people at Charlie Health made me feel like I wasn't alone. Both the staff and the other group members made me feel like I wasn't an alien--I felt like I was human with them. This program is amazing, and we need to have more programs for mental health like this one. Amazing place, with amazing people all around.
