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 wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health.”

Charlie Health helped me so much. Participating in groups with people my age, who have gone through the same stuff that I have, really made me feel connected and not alone. When everyone around you is fighting to make progress, you want to follow along too. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health. I’m going to miss this program, but I won’t come back to it. I’m not going to let everything I’ve done and worked towards here go to waste. I’m going to keep fighting until the battle is over, and I can raise my head in the mirror and tell myself that I’ve made it. Charlie Health, you change and save so many lives. Thank you so much for everything you did, and will continue to do.

—Charlie Health Alum

“I connected with so many people after years of isolation.”

I was at the absolute end of my rope with no hope left. This program was the last chance I was gonna give my life. Being here has completely changed my view of myself. I've learned to love myself. Even when I was having a bad day, I always knew there was another meeting coming soon, so I stopped feeling hopeless the way I used to. I feel so much more able to deal with my problems, and being in groups made me realize that I'm not a fundamentally messed up person. I connected with so many people after years of isolation. I wish it could last forever, but the change you've made in me is permanent.

—Cassidy W.

“The group really gave me validation and helped encourage me.”

I came to Charlie Health via a referral from previous care. What I noticed in my past treatment is that there are people coming in for all sorts of different reasons. At Charlie Health, I was placed in a group that I was much more easily able to relate to. The group really gave me validation and helped encourage me to take the steps I needed for my mental health. Also in my previous treatment, I didn’t have individual therapy, so coming to Charlie Health, the combination of encouragement from group members and the trauma-processing in individual therapy helped me get to a much better point in my recovery journey.
