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

“It's worth it.”

My experience at Charlie Health was incredible. My individual therapist was pivotal in my healing journey as she helped me to understand my emotions and work through not only my traumas, but also deal with my anxiety. Charlie Health’s experience helped to learn that these feelings, such as depression and anxiety, are a part of me, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I can control them and cope with them and live on with them, and most of all, study them and understand them. Groups were also delightful. I got to meet such a wonderful breadth of beautiful individuals whom I could listen to in their own healing journeys. Although it was quite intensive, it was positive overall. Charlie Health was an extremely great experience. It can be a long process, but in the end, it's worth it.

“I have been in therapy off and on since 2019, and I LOVED this IOP experience.”

I have been in therapy off and on since 2019, and I LOVED this IOP experience. Had I known about something like this when I was first really struggling with my depression, it would have been huge, and I'm not just saying that. I live in a rural area that has incredibly minimal access group therapy options that fit my needs the most. I am so excited to participate in the Alumni program, as well.

“Charlie Health's diverse team and groups made it easy to have a safe space for me to open up.”

Charlie Health has impacted me in so many positive ways. Not only have I gained many new coping skills, but I have a newfound confidence thanks to Charlie Health's group therapy. I thought I'd never be comfortable sharing and connecting with others, but over time, I was able to connect and learn so much from others. Charlie Health's diverse team and groups made it easy to have a safe space for me to open up.
