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

“I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough.”

When I first started with Charlie Health, my mental health was at an all-time low, to the point I was suicidal. The skills I have learned have helped me gain a better relationship with my husband, my family, and most importantly, with myself. I went from constantly talking negatively about myself to now hardly ever having negative thoughts. I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough. I've also made what I think will be some lifetime friends.

—Sandra H.

“If you are reading this and thinking about joining Charlie Health, do it.”

All journeys begin with a single step. If you are reading this and thinking about joining Charlie Health, do it. You will be better by the end as long as you are willing to participate. Be brave, and you too can heal. You can survive the darkness. Charlie Health proved to me that I can.

—Joseph J.

“I have never encountered such involved and compassionate care.”

I joined Charlie Health after a failed attempt to seek help from a local Emergency Department. I felt worthless and hopeless, like my family and friends would be better off without me. But at Charlie Health, for the first time in my life, I was provided with the skills I need to not only combat these big feelings, but to challenge them and change the way I perceive myself and the world around me. Charlie Health introduced me to the term “C-PTSD” and the results of working through my complex trauma have been incredible. I’ve been in and out of therapy for 15 years, and I have never encountered such involved and compassionate care from a team of professionals. Thank you, CH & teams!
