Transitional Living
Recovery in a Safe Place
For many people in early treatment from drug or alcohol misuse, having a safe place to live can be the difference between sobriety and relapse. Or life and death.
CODAC offers transitional living programs to provide one of humanity’s most basic needs — shelter. And, we wrap around meaningful services like:
- Intensive Outpatient Programming
- On-site community activities
- Parenting support
- Connection with health care, nutrition assistance, employment and more!

The time at Connie Hillman was awesome. It's a good place to be for women in recovery to get their kids back.
