“Limen” House, named for the Latin word for “threshold”, provides men and women in recovery from alcoholism and drug dependency an entrance into their new, healthy lives. Our mission is to provide counseling and a safe environment for the full recovery process to take place. During the process, the client will learn about their disease, develop a program of recovery, improve their self esteem and return to society as a fully functioning and employed member of their family and community.
2009 marked the 40th Anniversary of Limen House’s service to the community. This longevity, in conjunction with success rate for substance abuse treatment that far exceed the national average, is evidence of our ability to provide superior service to our residents on a consistent basis. As part of our 40th Anniversary Celebration, we were honored with tributes from both New Castle County Executive Chris Coons and the Delaware State Senate, which noted our dedication to assisting some of the neediest members of our community over the past four decades.
In 2005 and 2008, we were presented with the New Castle County Service Provider of the Year Award by the Governor’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities. Our program was recognized for approaching addiction treatment from a holistic point of view, providing our residents with a wide range of services that equip them with the tools to become productive and contributing members of society.
These achievements illustrate our dedication to our residents, but not nearly as clearly as the hundreds of stories of successful recovery by Limen House residents. We are truly grateful to the financial support of so many in our community who have allowed us to continue the work of our mission.
Limen House is a non-profit organization. It relies on gifts and on funds from the State of Delaware for its existence. Click the Donate button or visit our Support page for further options.
