In Brazil, 'sistema de recuperação' is widely used in medical, technological, and psychological contexts. The term gained prominence with increased digital infrastructure and mental health awareness. In the USA, the concept is prevalent in healthcare (post-operative recovery), tech (data recovery), and addiction treatment communities (12-step programs and recovery systems). Portuguese uses both 'recuperação' and 'reabilitação' depending on context, with healthcare settings often preferring the latter.
