Limen Recovery + Wellness: A Threshold to Recovery

In 1949 Joseph Campbell wrote The Hero with a Thousand Faces, where his comparative analysis described what we know today as the hero’s journey. Today we know addiction is a disease of 1000 faces – men, women, and people of all identities are affected by an internal adversary.

At Limen Recovery + Wellness, like the hero’s journey described by Joseph Campbell, our patients are called to cross their thresholds. While their transformation may be overwhelming, their journey is heroic. The monsters of myths are replaced with the demons of the mind. As our patients progress through their recovery and mental wellness, they encounter many milestones and face many hard truths. Yet, throughout their journey, one unique voice in the recovery community offers them support and services- Limen Recovery + Wellness.

Our unique nonprofit serves those affected with substance use disorder and mental health diagnoses to achieve long-term sobriety and wellness while building an on-ramp to a life worth living.

Limen Philosophy

Today in Wilmington, Limen Recovery + Wellness is a leader in the recovery community, but our work still needs to be finished. Limen Recovery + Wellness will provide screening, treatment, sober living, and alums programming.

Our holistic approach meets the varied needs of our patients and their loved ones with our outpatient and intensive outpatient and family programming. This continuum of care is the Limen Recovery Model – patients are called to cross the threshold to take the first step to transform their lives through self-awareness and action.

Operationally, we are uniquely positioned by the variable length of stay and the ratio of the support staff of 6:1. Our model addresses the healing and development of the heavily researched seven dimensions of wellness – Mental, Physical, Social, Financial, Spiritual, Environmental, and Vocational.

First State Association of Recovery Residence

Limen’s Michael Duffy and Beth Undercuffler were tapped to provide leadership to FSARR to ensure access to high-quality recovery residences in Delaware, aligning with national standards set by NARR. FSARR’s mission is to support individuals in their recovery by promoting access to recovery residences across Delaware that meet NARR’s standards. We believe a safe, supportive, recovery-focused living environment is crucial to successful recovery journeys. This work ensures that every person in recovery has access to safe and supportive recovery residences that meet national standards. To learn more, visit FSARR.org.
