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 have flourished here.”
Following the death of my father, I couldn't find it in myself to leave my home or connect with the people I loved. I learned here that there are people in our lives who are considered roots; people who are such a part of your existence that they provide nourishment. My dad was my root, and he still is. But even when a tree falls, the root may remain. I've practiced mindfulness, journaled, created, and cried to the point of watering my root and feeding myself from it. I have flourished here and take the wisdom of my father and these experiences with me. Additionally, I've faced past traumas and expressed words in a way I never thought possible. I'm not perfect, but I couldn't be more pleased with the work and effort I've put in and the support I've received.

“I was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did.”
When I started at Charlie Health, I wasn't even aware of how low I felt. I was dealing with PTSD, overwhelming anxiety, and depression. I was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did, but I was wrong. I have made incredible friendships throughout this process and received support I wasn't aware I needed. After completing Charlie Health, my depression and anxiety symptoms are now considered moderate, which feels like a miracle.

“I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm.”
For a long while, I'd been struggling with mental health issues, with suicidal thoughts and self-harm issues as a result of mental abuse. There was a big incident where I tried to severely harm myself. I was put into Charlie Health, and it was a good experience for me. I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm, and my family relationship have gotten better. The healing process is hard, but it gets easier by the month.
