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
“I now have the resources and skills I need to leave my house.”
I have dealt with severe anxiety my whole life. It didn't start affecting me until this past year when I developed agoraphobia, which led to me being fully home-bound. I was depressed that I was missing out on everyday teen things, and anxious every time I thought about leaving my home. It wasn't until I started going to groups at Charlie Health that I started to gain the confidence to start exposure therapy and begin my recovery journey. In only 3 months of being at Charlie Health, I was able to go on a 7-hour car ride with my family. After Charlie Health, I now have the resources and skills I need to leave my house and feel comfortable to be a functioning member of society.

“I saw improvements every week.”
Charlie Health was an incredible experience for me. Going into the program, I was in an unbelievably dark place and was worried about my ability to not only move forward in life but exist altogether. As the program progressed, I saw improvements every week. My group became my family and support system and I'm so grateful I was able to meet and get to know them over the 12 weeks I spent in the program. They proved that we are indeed not alone in the struggles we face in life and with mental health and that knowledge will always extend to every aspect of my life now. The facilitators were amazing, my psychiatrist and individual therapist were able to guide me in such an understanding and gentle manner. Charlie Health truly saved my life in a big way, and I finally feel confident and able to take the step out of my mama bird's nest and realize the untapped potential that has existed in me all along. Thank you all, so much. I don't know where I'd be without you.

“ So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success.”
Before beginning Charlie Health's IOP, I read testimonials talking about how CH saved their lives. I was hopeful but skeptical. This extra boost of support and 12 weeks of investing in this intensive program have single-handedly revived my life from just surviving to actually living. The DBT skills were so critical. The poetry activities during the experiential therapy hour allowed me to reflect and begin radically accepting my experiences. I have been able to grow and heal so much in terms of my perfectionism, need to control, experience in a toxic work environment, relationship with my parents, and co-dependency. So many opportunities in my life have opened up since I began my healing journey, and Charlie Health has been an integral part of my success. I am grateful and looking forward to my future, my most authentic life, and being myself.
