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.

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

Our treatment programs, including our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), combine personalized care with peer connection to foster long-term healing.

In their words

What our clients say

“If it wasn’t for Charlie Health, I know I wouldn’t be here today.”

I was very skeptical about starting Charlie Health. I was unsure about a group setting, the number of hours I had to commit to, and it being virtual. It took me some time to open up, but it was life-changing once I got comfortable. I had to put in a lot of work to get to where I am now, but if it wasn’t for Charlie Health, I know I wouldn’t be here today. I was lucky enough to work with Brookie; she is the best facilitator, and I wish I could still work with her after discharge. She helped make my experience amazing. Fourteen weeks ago, I didn’t think I would be here to write this testimonial, but thanks to Charlie Health, I am. I would recommend this program to anyone, no matter what you are going through or have been through. There is a place for everyone here.

“I didn't think I'd be able to find help.”

Charlie Health has helped me regulate my negative emotions and discover what kinds of emotions I'm feeling in the moment, and figure out my boundaries. This was very much needed since emotions were my top issue to figure out alongside trauma. I have learned to not only accept my traumatic experiences, but come out as a survivor with people that understand what I went through. Charlie Health group therapy has helped me, and before group therapy, I didn't think I'd be able to find help. Thank you Charlie Health!!

—Bridget L.

“Charlie Health is honestly the best thing I've ever done for myself .”

Charlie Health is honestly the best thing I've ever done for myself and my mental health. The groups were engaging, and I learned so much from others' experiences with mental health and their journeys. The DBT skills group taught me skills and new perspectives that I had never considered before. DBT helped me in ways that CBT could not. I feel like I'm in control of my mental health now and that I have the skills necessary to cope with life's difficulties. Thank you so much for this experience!
