readapt

Modify anew, situationally

To readapt is to adapt again or anew, adjusting to changed circumstances after a previous adaptation: Soldiers returning home must readapt to civilian life.

The word implies a second round of adjustment—someone who adapted once now faces different conditions requiring fresh accommodation.
