LAP groups do not focus on the specific treatment of each diagnosis. In addition, recovery from substance abuse and recovery from a mental health issue are similar in that a prescribed structure assists in recovery. Also, many LAP attorney participants are recovering from both substance abuse and mental health issues. Feedback from LAP participants confirms that benefits are derived from the combined group meetings.
