Confidentiality is the Cornerstone of LAP

Confidentiality is guaranteed. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 1.6. cloaks in confidentiality all information received by LAP volunteers and trained interveners during interventions and related meetings.  Both the volunteer and client are assured that anything disclosed is specifically protected by the attorney client privilege. The only exception is if the attorney signs a written consent and asks LAP to report on their behalf to another organization or individual. Additionally, the Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Interveners and Reporter Immunity Law guarantees immunity for LAP Volunteers and those who participate in its work.
