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 saw improvements every week.”
Charlie Health was an incredible experience for me. Going into the program, I was in an unbelievably dark place and was worried about my ability to not only move forward in life but exist altogether. As the program progressed, I saw improvements every week. My group became my family and support system and I'm so grateful I was able to meet and get to know them over the 12 weeks I spent in the program. They proved that we are indeed not alone in the struggles we face in life and with mental health and that knowledge will always extend to every aspect of my life now. The facilitators were amazing, my psychiatrist and individual therapist were able to guide me in such an understanding and gentle manner. Charlie Health truly saved my life in a big way, and I finally feel confident and able to take the step out of my mama bird's nest and realize the untapped potential that has existed in me all along. Thank you all, so much. I don't know where I'd be without you.

“Charlie Health has been there every step of the way.”
I was struggling through daily life. I was going to be admitted into higher care, but I was recommended to Charlie Health, and I’m very grateful for that. Charlie Health has been there every step of the way to hold my hand through my healing process.

“So many people are willing to guide you and to give you a universal reminder: You are not alone.”
When I first entered Charlie Health, my initial thought was that I'd probably be stuck here or worse: I'd end up in a facility or dead. My mental health was at an all-time low. I was harboring so much resentment, anger, and sadness over everything. What was worse was that my whole family seemed to have those same feelings aimed in my direction because of what led me here. Initially, I was reticent when participating in groups. I didn't know how to act. How to be. In my mind, there had to be a perfect way. But over time, that mask fell. Weeks went by, and I started to come out of my shell, going from a hardened, disturbed person to someone who could somehow see the good in everything. Granted, there are still things that have been happening to me offscreen that I can't control. But, because of Charliehealth, I'm much stronger. I can use the skills and techniques I've learned over the last few months to combat all of those negative thoughts and experiences as they happen. That's not to say there wouldn't be any struggling. Struggling is a part of that process. But it's a matter of continuing to push through that blizzard, those waves of emotions that will help you see the journey through. That's how I continue to look at it, even after discharge. Nothing, especially letting go, is never easy. Here, however, so many people are willing to guide you and to give you a universal reminder: You are not alone.
