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 andsupport 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
“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.

“There is no way that you will leave this program without making positive changes.”
Charlie Health opened my mind to the whole group therapy thing. I was very hesitant when I joined initially, but the facilitator's and fellow group members quickly made me feel comfortable and more willing to share and be more open minded. I would highly recommend this program to anyone - yes, it is time consuming; but if you put in the time and effort, there is no way that you will leave this program without making positive changes and experiencing true support and understanding.
