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 family will forever be changed by the generational trauma I have worked on breaking.”
I had reached a point in my life where something had to give. I found Charlie Health through the military and was scared at first and wasn't sure it would help, but I am so happy I gave it a chance. My husband and immediate family have noticed a significant difference in my countenance and behaviors. I am lighter and happier. I can be faced with stress and not be overwhelmed by it. I will definitely be continuing treatment with a one on one because there is still healing to be done, but now I have a clean and healthy slate to begin handling my trauma. I will recommend the CBT groups to everyone. My family will forever be changed by the generational trauma I have worked on breaking. My children will get to have a whole mother who is not weighed down by her grief and depression or anxiety. My husband now has a partner that can communicate and we will continue to cultivate a healthy and loving friendship and marriage.

“I loved my therapist and group facilitators.”
Mental health can be really dangerous when you are so deep-rooted in fear. Having this consistent support and reminders of my own worth has been so beneficial. I made beautiful art and made some of my closest friends in Charlie Health. I loved my therapist and group facilitators. They all knew how to listen and see things from another perspective. I am very grateful for that open-mindedness and overall safe place to feel my feelings.

“All the staff members were AMAZING.”
This was a LONG journey. It was well worth it. When I initially checked into rehab I did not feel I had an issue. After being released from rehab and joining Charlie Health I was a bit standoffish and eventually opened up. I learned a lot from my classmates. The only advice that I can give is to open up and if you are comfortable, make connections and keep in contact. Everyone needs a support system and you never know who you can relate to. All the staff members were AMAZING, and I look forward to helping the Alumni group from time to time. Everyone stay strong and continue to fight this fight!!!
