The Limen House is a 501(c)(3) organization, for alcoholics and addicts recovering from their disease, founded in 1969 by St. Andrews Church in Wilmington. The word li'-men is a scientific term of Latin origin that means threshold; the place or point of entering or beginning; the point at which a physiological or psychological effect begins to be produced.

Limen Recovery + Wellness operates four separate recovery houses and an outpatient service. These houses serve as models for other halfway houses in Delaware and other states. Both our residence and outpatient’s success relies on the continual integration of best practices and our loving kindness, compassion, generosity, and forgiveness toward those struggling with addiction and mental illness. Human beings are valuable, unique, and vulnerable, and deserve multiple chances. Our goal is to meet the people we serve where they are and to walk with them on their path to recovery.
