Able to recover
Rehabilitable describes someone or something capable of being rehabilitated—restored to good condition, health, or productive life.
A rehabilitable offender might benefit from treatment rather than punishment.
A rehabilitable building can be renovated rather than demolished.
The word often appears in assessments of whether intervention is worthwhile: The parole board determined she was rehabilitable.
