redress, recourse

Explanation:
I've never seen the word used this way, but I think it has to be the meaning. To rehabilitate something means to restore it to its original condition.

Rehabilitation
Primary tabs

A process used at trial after a witness's credibility has been attacked through impeachment to rehabilitate the witness's credibility. A witness is rehabilitated either by introducing evidence of the witness's good character for truthfulness and honesty, or by the introduction into evidence of a prior consistent statement made by the witness. Usually, a witness' credibility can only be rehabilitated after his or her credibility has been attacked. If evidence of a witness's credibility is introduced prior to his or her credibility being attacked, this is typically considered bolstering and is not permitted.

exoneration

Explanation:
perhaps this may be appropriate. I first thought of acquittal, but perhaps that is not strong enough.

(North DEU) Rehabilitation / Rehabilitierung amends for loss of reputation

Explanation:
Lowest CL as I - with a vague ENG tort law recollection of remedies for defamation - am guessing that this is North Germany and not thge Southern German-speaking area where Rehab might not have the smae or any legal meaning.

Example sentence(s):

Compensate(verb) to make amends; to supply an equivalent; -- followed by for; as, nothing can compensate for the loss of reputation
