readaptation
Adjusting once more
Readaptation is the process of adapting again, especially after circumstances have changed or a previous adaptation has been disrupted.
Someone returning to civilian life after military service undergoes readaptation.
The term appears in medical contexts for recovery processes and in ecology for species adjusting to restored habitats: The readaptation to normal sleep patterns took weeks.
