reacclimating

Adjusting again gradually

Reacclimating is the process of adjusting again to conditions you were once accustomed to.

Someone returning home after years abroad reacclimates to the culture, climate, or pace of life: After a decade in London, she's still reacclimating to American small talk.

The word implies a period of renewed adaptation rather than learning something fresh.
