I can't give you a 'transition' period from rehab to halfway house as I went straight out of rehab back to real life and raising a daughter as a single parent. I'm sure each person is different as far as adjusting to a new circumstance.
I was absolutely terrified when I got out of rehab, even though I knew I was going to be 'safe' in staying with my counselor and her hubby temporarily. It doesn't surprise me she sounded panicked when you called her.
How about staying in the moment for now, and doing what you need to do for you and your own recovery? Put the question of phone calls/you paying the cellphone bill on the back burner today.
