Virtual substance use disorder treatment, made for you

A virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for substance use is a structured level of care that provides more support than traditional weekly therapy — without requiring a residential stay. Charlie Health’s virtual IOP for addiction includes individual therapy, group sessions, family therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate, over a 9-to 12-week program. Sessions are held online so you can receive intensive outpatient rehabilitation from home.

Our IOP for substance abuse is designed for people ages 15–64 dealing with alcohol, opioid, cannabis, stimulant, or prescription drug use — whether substance use is the primary concern or co-occurs with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions. We offer separate harm reduction and abstinence-based cohorts.

Traditional outpatient therapy is typically one session per week. Charlie Health’s IOP for addiction provides up to 12 hours per week — including three 3-hour group sessions, weekly individual therapy, and family therapy — for more immersive support. It’s designed for people who need more than weekly outpatient counseling but don’t require inpatient or residential care.

Our virtual IOP for addiction includes three group sessions and one individual therapy session per week, with flexible scheduling options including morning, afternoon, and evening time slots. Group sessions are three hours each. We offer scheduling that works around work, school, and other commitments.
