English term or phrase: Aggressive Personalities in “Recovery”
The case of Janice and Bill and many subsequent similar cases have taught me that the central tenets of traditional “recovery” models designed to treat true chemical addiction are detrimental when applied to chemically abusing individuals with aggressive (or covert-aggressive) personality disorders. These models often prompt us to view an abusive and emotionally independent personality as a victim and as dependent. The traditional model would view Bill as chemically dependent and Janice as co- dependent. In recent years, zealous professional advocates have expanded the “co-dependency model” to include any and all types of interpersonal dependence. Within such an exaggerated framework, everyone is to some extent co-dependent. Now, there are cases of real dependency and co-dependency, but they are not as common as many claim. In many more troubled relationships, there is an emotionally independent, abusive party and another party who is insecure and struggling with excessive emotional dependence.

Explanation:
Lo que entiendo es que el "recovery" del que habla son los programas tradicionales de 12 pasos.

Ahora, viendo lo que hay sobre este tipo de programas, hablan directamente de recuperación (te dejo una segunda referencia).

Perdón, esta parte se me ha borrado. La referencia sobre "recovery" dice: "The term codependence came out of the self-help “recovery” literature (based on the 12-step model of addiction treatment) of the 70s and 80s and was originally meant to describe the phenomenon whereby the life of the non-using spouse, partner, or other family member became just as governed by the substance(s) involved as the life of the active substance user.

Reference: Personalidades agresivas bajo tratamientos de recuperación psiquiátrica

Reference information:
La idea aludida, en tanto que recovery model, es bastante más amplia que los doce pasos.

Psychological recovery or recovery model or the recovery approach to mental disorder or substance dependence emphasizes and supports a person's potential for recovery. 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_approach

En todo caso, en castellano esta idea se expresa efectivamente como recuperación o recuperación psiquiátrica, en función del contexto.

Los tratamientos de recuperación psiquiátrica constituyen hoy una especialidad que normalmente garantiza una adecuada rehabilitación.
http://osmiss.org.ar/news/index.php/2008/12/03/reflexiones-s...

El concepto de recuperación psiquiátrica comenzó a extenderse entre los profesionales sanitarios en los Estados Unidos a partir de la publicación de un libro por William Anthony (1993) “Recovery from Mental Illness: The guiding vision for the 1990s”

En tu caso, no obstante, se refiere no a sujetos "en recuperación" -que necesariamente se lee como "recuperándose"; que se están recuperando- sino a sujetos con tratamientos de recuperación psiquiátrica o centrados en la recuperación psiquiátrica. Fuera de contexto, resulta difícil articular la frase para que (patients) in recovery no sea leída en castellano como (pacientes) que se están recuperando, "en recuperación" [cosa que no dice el original en realidad].
Tal vez, por ejemplo, y aunque resulte poco sucinto;
Personalidades agresivas bajo tratamientos de recuperación psiquiátrica.
