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 ended up walking away from Charlie Health much more knowledgeable and well-equipped to deal with emotional and mental problems.”

I came from rock bottom into this program, and I was reluctant to do virtual group therapy. I've done virtual individual therapy before, but a group scenario is a very different situation. However, by the second week, I realized that it was a completely different experience than I had expected it to be. I ended up walking away from Charlie Health much more knowledgeable and well-equipped to deal with emotional and mental problems, and I was much more confident in myself and my future. To anyone looking for mental health help and willing to put the work in, I highly recommend Charlie Health.

“After my first group session, I left smiling.”

When I got to Charlie Health, I was in a place where I did not want to accept any more help. I was fresh out of the hospital and had seen my fair share of therapists and psychiatrists. I was put in Charlie Health by hospital staff because it was the one thing I was sort of open to. After my first group session, I left smiling. That was the first time I showed a genuine smile in 7 months. It wasn't overnight or in one Zoom meeting that I felt better, but over the weeks in Charlie Health, I connected and shared with people in ways I had been very closed off to just weeks before. I loved my time here, and I looked forward to group every day. Even if I didn't share, I still enjoyed it. I love Charlie Health and thank them for getting me out of place I never thought I could.

“Coping skills are literally a lifesaver.”

While no, Charlie Health didn't fix my life haha, I feel I am leaving with a refresher on how my life isn't as doomed as it sometimes feels. More than just being told there are other people out there like me, I got to experience the people themselves, hear their stories, share mine, and be heard. It helped me feel like, once again, maybe I can do this even if it feels like it's getting harder every day. I know there are others fighting the same fight and that I can do it even if it feels impossible. Coping skills are literally a lifesaver, and I hope more people can learn and utilize them, especially in the world we currently reside in. It's not over.
