Online recovery is a distinct form of mental health or addiction recovery that promotes a safe and supportive atmosphere of recovery in the digital sphere.
It could include web discussion forums, iPhone apps[1],[failed verification] blogs or involvement with the maintenance and handling of electronic health records as administered as part of a health insurer's database.
One example of an online recovery tool is the "RecoveryChat" hashtag[2] operated by SAMHSA.
A relatively new practice, coinciding with the rise of the Internet and social media, online recovery tests the limits of anonymity, a core tenet of many recovery programs.
According to some recovery-based addiction programs, online recovery may conflict with founding or current principles,[3][failed verification] but splinter groups have formed to create new models of consensus.[clarification needed]
Legal issues
Among the issues facing addicts or those recovering from mental illness online include the collection of information by non-governmental organizations including private security agencies, insurance agents, and other data warehouse operations.
