The co-opted form of 'Recovery', typically delivered and implemented by mental health services. Neorecovery is distinct to the original ethos of recovery as conceived and articulated by mental health survivors and service users, which was service user led, democratic, humanistic and based on collective values. In contrast, neorecovery is provider or service delivered, controlled or designed, typically paying lip service to meaningful and democratic user involvement or so called 'co-production'. Neorecovery reflects the current neo-liberal political context of society and mental health services in its approaches and practices, with its emphasis on individualism, 'responsibility', 'dependency' and work as a health outcome.
