For the second, the amount of time the treatments wood take and the effectiveness they have would depend on the individual Sue. Their original level of power and personality would have a lot to do with how well and how quickly they rehabilitate, and some just don't do as well working in the new setting as others. Some might not like having to be part of a team instead of taking the glory for themselves, some might be too tempted to use their powers during a mission, which would formerly have attracted the attention of the DIS or DIO but in the modern setting would still be dangerous and addictive, etcetera etcetera.
To give a few examples of reformed Sues from PPC history, Priyala was more or less just a human with unexplained telepathic powers in her home fic, so she contains her Sueishness easily, which is aided by the fact that she feels resentful for the damages that she did to her home canon in her original badfic and doesn't want to repeat those problems in her new environment. Meneltari, on the other hand, had both a larger amount of base power as the uncanonical and immortal daughter of Eru Ilúvatar himself, and had a much less mindful attitude toward keeping herself in check. Her last confirmed actions in the PPC involved accidentally causing most of HQ to lust after her and getting thrown into the Void as a consequence.

You'll want to aim somewhere between those, closer to the Priyala side than not, but the situation is very dependent on the character's personal disposition and background. Do you have any details decided on yet?

To help with Suvian recovery, there's a Sue Support Group that's intended to keep Sues from misusing their powers, as well as providing them with therapy and moral support. There's also a medication called Logicillin that, while initially created to ward off Suvian encroachment on Agents from infections like Suemonia and Vambiolaria, also helps Agents who started out as Sues keep their Suvian tendencies in check. I'm pretty sure the former would be made mandatory by Personnel for at least a short amount of time, and the latter probably wouldn't hurt, especially during the period during which the ex-Sue recruit is still adjusting.

Also, a question tangential to your name change: do you know about Bionicle? There was a species from there called the Skakdi, and Iximaz is a very Skakdi-esque name. It's got the hard consonants and long "a"s that they like. I'm not saying it sounds bad, before you take this the wrong way, it's just that the new name reminded me of them and it would be nice to see a fellow Bionicle fan here.
