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 saw improvements every week.”
Charlie Health was an incredible experience for me. Going into the program, I was in an unbelievably dark place and was worried about my ability to not only move forward in life but exist altogether. As the program progressed, I saw improvements every week. My group became my family and support system and I'm so grateful I was able to meet and get to know them over the 12 weeks I spent in the program. They proved that we are indeed not alone in the struggles we face in life and with mental health and that knowledge will always extend to every aspect of my life now. The facilitators were amazing, my psychiatrist and individual therapist were able to guide me in such an understanding and gentle manner. Charlie Health truly saved my life in a big way, and I finally feel confident and able to take the step out of my mama bird's nest and realize the untapped potential that has existed in me all along. Thank you all, so much. I don't know where I'd be without you.

“The overall sense of community, even in a virtual setting, was very helpful to my recovery.”
Before I started, I saw a review online where someone mentioned "[Charlie Health] might have saved my life." I can 100% agree with this statement now that I have been through treatment myself. Charlie Health came into my life when I was at my lowest, and in the span of IOP, I have improved immensely. I felt supported for the entirety of my time in the program. The Care Team was excellent at communication; I got into a group almost immediately, and overall, everyone from Charlie Health was so attentive to my needs. I learned so much from my time in this program, and I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the love and support that I have received from the Charlie Health team. I enjoyed the diversity in the program and how we were introduced to many group therapists who all had amazing things to bring to the table. The overall sense of community, even in a virtual setting, was very helpful to my recovery. The program's flexibility allowed me to complete IOP while in school and even when I was traveling out of the state. I highly recommend Charlie Health to anyone in need of an IOP that is dedicated to your healing journey. I will be joining the alumni groups, which is another amazing thing Charlie Health offers! Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me in this challenging but rewarding process. I will continue to carry all of the things I have learned here when coping with adversity.
