It does not ever cost a penny to call TLAP. Confidential, professional mental health consultations with TLAP are always available. Unlike Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that typically limit the number of visits per year, there is no limit whatsoever to your access to TLAP. All of TLAP’s internal services are absolutely free.

These free services also include professional addiction interventions in cases deemed appropriate by TLAP. Such intervention services in substance cases can often cost $5,000 or more, but TLAP provides all of these services for free.

Bottom line: there is never any charge for TLAP’s support and facilitation of evaluations, assessments, treatment. No matter who calls, how many times they call, or why, TLAP’s professional clinical advice is always available free of charge and without limit to members of the profession, law students, and bar applicants.

In cases where the person requires a formal TLAP Recovery Monitoring Agreement, those services are also free no matter how long the monitoring program is for any given individual. In many cases, TLAP provides these free services over the course of many years.

In short, TLAP has never sent an invoice to anyone in its history, and TLAP never will.

Of course, however, TLAP is not an addiction treatment center, psychiatric clinic, or hospital, etc. Many times, however, TLAP’s professional clinical staff can provide all of the intervention, support and resources a client may need. In more severe cases, however, TLAP refers clients to TLAP-approved medical facilities and mental health providers as may be indicated by the severity of the issues.

Again, TLAP is not a free hospital or free treatment center. In the event that a person needs comprehensive diagnostics, treatment, or long-term therapy, etc., TLAP facilitates referral to appropriate, quality TLAP-approved providers that specialize in assisting licensed professionals. TLAP then collaborates with those providers to ensure that TLAP can continue to support the individual going forward with TLAP Monitoring and other modalities of support in concert with the all other providers.

The cost of services from third-party providers must be paid by the individual via their insurance or out of pocket, etc. For those in true financial need, support is available such as grants or scholarships from treatment providers, or low-cost loans.
