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.

Life-saving mental health treatment when you need it most

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

Our treatment programs, including our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), combine personalized care with peer connection to foster long-term healing.

In their words

What our clients say

“My confidence and sense of self-worth have grown a TON.”

I have seen a lot of growth within myself, and the people around me have seen it too. Even people I'm not super close with, such as coworkers, have noticed that I am handling stressful situations a lot better than I have in the past. I have gained weight (positive), I have learned so many tools to self soothe. My suicidal ideation is next to nothing. When the thoughts do pop up, I am able to remind myself that that's not truly what I want. My confidence and sense of self-worth have grown a TON. I am so happy with the care I got from Charlie Health.

—Sydney T.

“Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed.”

I came to Charlie Health in July of 2024 after my first-ever panic attack. The process was a bit bumpy on the insurance end to get started in group, but it was rectified quickly. I was very hesitant to receive mental health treatment and against taking medication as all of this was very new to me. Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed and individualizes each treatment plan to allow you to "graduate" with the skills and tools you need to succeed upon exiting the program. They allow you to explore your emotions and behavioral health and help guide you to a path of least resistance in your recovery.

“I wouldn't have gotten out of that dark place.”

Charlie Health has changed my view on groups and their benefits to the healing/self discovery journey. I feel that I have learned so much from not only sharing my story but listening to others’ and providing feedback that I needed myself. I am leaving Charlie Health thinking and feeling more clear, balanced, and confident than when I came in and I'm so excited to continue down this path. Thank you Charlie Health and all who were a part of my journey. I wouldn't have gotten out of that dark place without you!
