Recovery

Recovery refers to the process of returning to a normal state of health, mind, or strength. It is a broad term that can be applied to various contexts, including medicine, mental health, disaster management, and data recovery in information technology.

Medical Recovery[edit | edit source]

In the context of medicine, recovery often refers to the period that follows the treatment of illness, injury, or surgery. This period is crucial as it allows the body to heal and regain its normal function. The length and nature of the recovery period can vary greatly depending on the individual and the specific medical condition.

Mental Health Recovery[edit | edit source]

Mental health recovery is a journey of healing and transformation enabling a person with a mental health problem to live a meaningful life in a community of his or her choice while striving to achieve his or her full potential. This process is highly individual and occurs via many different pathways. It may involve developing a new sense of self, purpose, and meaning in life.

Disaster Recovery[edit | edit source]

In disaster management, recovery involves the actions taken to return a community to normal or near-normal conditions, including the repair or reconstruction of damaged properties. Disaster recovery includes programs to support public infrastructure, systems, and services, reestablish private businesses, and restore employment.

Data Recovery[edit | edit source]

In information technology, data recovery is the process of salvaging inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged, or formatted data from secondary storage, removable media, or files when the data stored in them cannot be accessed in a normal way.
