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

“My mom said, 'We have our Maddy back'.”

Charlie Health was very helpful for me. I was able to come off a lot of my medications that were causing my mental health crisis. My mood improved so drastically that my mom said, "We have our Maddy back." I learned so many self-care skills that I didn't even know before. My mom even learned a lot more about how I communicate and what I need. I have been able to communicate better with my medical team because Charlie Health has helped me be more open with them. I have been able to advocate for my needs better. For example, the care provider for my braces knows that I am more comfortable seeing him in my home and when I need to go into his office he schedules it at the end of the day so I do not get over stimulated. He allows enough time for my care in my home or in the office.

“I feel inspired now to put myself out there and continue to socialize for my well-being..”

If you make the choice to better your mental well-being, Charlie Health will help. Group sessions were nice for me. I really needed to talk to other people going through tough stuff. It was good for me to just socialize. I feel inspired now to put myself out there and continue to socialize for my well-being.

—Emily S.

“Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself.”

Charlie Health has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I knew I was struggling and needed help, but I didn't think there was a place for me to obtain the support I needed. I was hesitant about starting the program, but I quickly saw how beneficial it was for others and became more comfortable with opening up about difficult topics. When I started the program I had a lot of resentment regarding my upbringing and the trauma I had to endure as a child and teenager. Since being able to process and learn skills, I have been able to start letting go and healing through my trauma. My relationship with my wife has improved so much and we are no longer considering ending our relationship. I can accurately express my thoughts and feelings much better than before. Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself and life while providing me with tools to continue on my healing journey and one day become the person I never thought I could be.
