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
“The overall sense of community, even in a virtual setting, was very helpful to my recovery.”
Before I started, I saw a review online where someone mentioned "[Charlie Health] might have saved my life." I can 100% agree with this statement now that I have been through treatment myself. Charlie Health came into my life when I was at my lowest, and in the span of IOP, I have improved immensely. I felt supported for the entirety of my time in the program. The Care Team was excellent at communication; I got into a group almost immediately, and overall, everyone from Charlie Health was so attentive to my needs. I learned so much from my time in this program, and I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the love and support that I have received from the Charlie Health team. I enjoyed the diversity in the program and how we were introduced to many group therapists who all had amazing things to bring to the table. The overall sense of community, even in a virtual setting, was very helpful to my recovery. The program's flexibility allowed me to complete IOP while in school and even when I was traveling out of the state. I highly recommend Charlie Health to anyone in need of an IOP that is dedicated to your healing journey. I will be joining the alumni groups, which is another amazing thing Charlie Health offers! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me in this challenging but rewarding process. I will continue to carry all of the things I have learned here when coping with adversity.

“They got me into orientation and group sessions within 2 days of my initial contact with them.”
I came into Charlie Health on the rebound of another major breakdown in my mental health because of a variety of difficulties in my life. After 6 months of roadblock after roadblock trying to get into an outpatient program, I finally found Charlie Health, and they got me into orientation and group sessions within 2 days of my initial contact with them, which was bewildering after 6 months of struggle! I was initially assigned to a trauma-focused group, which was a wonderful experience, but for my own goals in the program, I chose to switch to the skills-focused group. I loved both of the groups I was in, and we all formed a bond and a small community pretty immediately. The support and companionship I received from my group over the weeks was invaluable. That, paired with the wonderful individual therapist I've had and a psychiatrist who was very supportive of and focused on my goals, made this program a WONDERFUL experience for me. Everyone in my life has told me how much brighter and more present I seem now, and I also feel that positivity about myself!

“I now have the tools to continue my mental health journey.”
I have autism, ADHD, complex trauma, PMDD, PTSD, and generalized anxiety. I came to Charlie Health due to a PTSD shutdown, and I can't say enough about what this program has done for me. I now have the tools to continue my mental health journey. Thank you to Charlie Health.
