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.

In their words

What our clients say

“I connected with so many people after years of isolation.”

I was at the absolute end of my rope with no hope left. This program was the last chance I was gonna give my life. Being here has completely changed my view of myself. I've learned to love myself. Even when I was having a bad day, I always knew there was another meeting coming soon, so I stopped feeling hopeless the way I used to. I feel so much more able to deal with my problems, and being in groups made me realize that I'm not a fundamentally messed up person. I connected with so many people after years of isolation. I wish it could last forever, but the change you've made in me is permanent.

—Cassidy W.

“I made so many friends and memories along the way.”

Prior to Charlie Health, I had been hospitalized twice and had even been in an in-person IOP program. Even after the second hospitalization, I truly did not know if I would ever get my life back together. However, with the help of Charlie Health, I not only met my mental health goals, but I made so many friends and memories along the way. Memories that will last a lifetime. And that's the beauty of Charlie Health. Everyone here is so kind, caring, and only wants your best interest. It's one of the best experiences I've ever had. If you're ever struggling with mental health, Charlie Health is the best place to go.

“I no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness.”

I didn't want to die, but I didn't know how to keep living anymore and I couldn't see a way out. How can I possibly describe what it means to no longer be stuck there? I no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness that that I have carried for 20 years? I wish I could sum up this experience in a small blurb, but some things can only be felt. Trust the process. Clichés exist for a reason.
