reattainment

Getting it back

Reattainment is the act of attaining something again—regaining what was previously achieved or possessed.

The word appears in formal or bureaucratic contexts: reattainment of citizenship, reattainment of sobriety.

It emphasizes the process of recovery rather than the recovered state itself.
