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.

“I truly felt listened to and like I mattered.”

Charlie Health was amazing! I truly felt listened to and like I mattered. A big difference for me in this program was that I was also giving 100%. I think that, combined with the teachings of Charlie Health, really made a difference. If you're on the fence, please do it! I feel certain you won't regret it.

“The best thing that's ever happened to me.”

Charlie Health saved and changed my life. Where I live it's so hard to find a group IOP. I found Charlie Health by accident and it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. My group facilitators are hands down the best!
