This can happen with stress, and with age. It is very likely that the plant will not regain its upright stature, or at least not the existing foliage and not fully.

What you can do is prune each branch by about 1/3. Or if that makes you uncomfortable, prune just the tip off. This will promote new growth. Please take care, as the sap will be highly irritant to skin for many people.

Once you have a fair amount of new growth, you can trim out older branches, and let the new growth take over.

Try to give it bright light without being direct light. The brighter the better, without exposing it to direct sunlight.

Last, make sure that the soil is well draining. They won't tolerate remaining wet for too long. Take care not to overwater these.
