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 finally feel like I can breathe.”

I have been struggling with PTSD and anxiety my whole life. I have been working so hard to better myself and I finally feel like I can breathe. I had undiagnosed autism when I got here, and the diagnosis literally changed my life for the better because so many things were answered and my life makes sense thanks to CH.

“Coping skills are literally a lifesaver.”

While no, Charlie Health didn't fix my life haha, I feel I am leaving with a refresher on how my life isn't as doomed as it sometimes feels. More than just being told there are other people out there like me, I got to experience the people themselves, hear their stories, share mine, and be heard. It helped me feel like, once again, maybe I can do this even if it feels like it's getting harder every day. I know there are others fighting the same fight and that I can do it even if it feels impossible. Coping skills are literally a lifesaver, and I hope more people can learn and utilize them, especially in the world we currently reside in. It's not over.

“If a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health.”

I didn't know what to expect when I first joined Charlie Health. I felt a lot of anxiety initially. Since going through my treatment, though, I've seen improvements, felt better, processed better, and overall started doing so much better than at the start. I'm grateful for Charlie Health, and if a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health and recommend it to friends and family.
