You don't need to recover the money, this can be solved simply by doing a Roth conversion. Most places that handle IRAs can do them easily. Contact your IRA custodian and ask to convert the IRA to a Roth. You'll have taxable income on any balance above your $5500 basis in the account, but that should be minimal.
Many IRA custodians with online access you can simply log into your account and do the roth converstion yourself.
Edit: @craigw is correct, if your income is within the Roth contribution limits, a recharacterization is the better option if the account value is above $5500. I forgot the new tax law eliminated recharacterizations only for previous conversions.
