“By far the best thing that I did for myself”

Charlie Health is by far the best thing that I did for myself. The facilitators are very personable even in a group setting. They truly care about what they do and want to see you succeed. I’m so disappointed to be leaving but I know that I now have the skills and coping strategies to continue successfully in my life.

“I am happier and healthier”

Before Charlie Health, I was in a really bad place. I didn’t feel like I would ever get better and that I was just a failure. But after learning DBT skills with Charlie Health and communicating with people that were so supportive, it really helped me feel like I can get better and make progress in my life so I am happier and healthier overall.

“Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program”

I was in a dark place when I started Charlie Health. I was either going into a hospital or going to die. Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program and made sure I had the backing and support I needed right away. I was able to advocate with work about my needs with my primary therapist’s support. Everyone in groups were so nice and helpful.I loved connecting with people going through struggles like mine.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a referral?

Visit referrals.charliehealth.com/referrals to fill out our quick and easy online referral form.

Otherwise, you can call our Admissions Team at 1 (866) 508-7084, or fax your referral to (406) 720-7793.

We’ll need the client’s name, date of birth, and insurance information (if you have it).

What type of client is a good fit for Charlie Health?

Charlie Health may be a good fit for:

  1. Clients who would benefit from a step-up treatment solution and are currently attending weekly outpatient therapy but still seriously struggling with their mental health.
  2. Clients who would benefit from a step-down treatment solution and need ongoing support following discharge from an ER, residential treatment program, or inpatient treatment facility.

If you have a client or patient who you think would benefit from Charlie Health, use our quick & easy referral form to get them started with treatment in as little as 24 hours.

How soon after I make a referral will I/my client hear back from Charlie Health?

Once you make a referral, our Admissions Team will be in touch within the hour. Many clients are able to begin treatment in as little as 24 hours!

Will Charlie Health coordinate care with outside providers and/or provide treatment updates?

Absolutely! We are committed to providing regular treatment updates to referring providers to ensure continuity of care. Our Outreach Team can keep you updated as your client progresses through our admissions process; once the client is admitted to Charlie Health, our Care Team can provide weekly, biweekly, and/or monthly treatment updates on your client’s progress.

To get your client or patient started with our program, fill out our quick and easy online referral form!

Can my client continue to work with their individual therapist?

Clients are required to see a one-on-one therapist through Charlie Health, but if they would like to continue to see their own therapist on top of that for an additional weekly session, this is absolutely allowed. However, outside sessions may not fall on the same day as our individual therapy session or any group sessions.

Are there any diagnoses Charlie Health does not treat?

While we can work with most diagnoses, we want to ensure that clients don’t require in-person medical stabilization for an active eating disorder or a detox program for a primary substance use disorder. We will often work to refer a non-eligible client out to a higher level of care. Upon completing a higher level of treatment, clients often discharge and transition to Charlie Health.
