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.

In their words

What our clients say

“The best decision I could have made.”

I was struggling with anxiety for about 2 years, and it got extremely bad... to the point were I couldn't function. I was referred to Charlie Health while in the hospital, and it was the best decision I could have made. I made a best friend in groups and my whole mental health improved. I'm so grateful for this program. Thank you CH!

“Charlie Health saved my life.”

Charlie Health saved my life. I was in a really dark place before starting and was not sure I would ever be able to get out of it. After completing Charlie Health, I have found so many ways to cope with my anxiety and depression that I can now use every day.

—Logan J.

“Charlie Health helped me realize that the good does exist.”

It's really frustrating that finding help is a lot of trial and error, but what Charlie Health helped me realize that the good does exist. There is always good in advocating for yourself and putting in the time for how you want to live your life, but sometimes you need outside resources to help you realize your worth when life feels like it's too much to handle. I wish I could stay in Charlie Health forever. The group members and overall atmosphere was something I've never experienced but am so grateful to have come across.

—Rachel P.
