seeking advice about detox

i am a 22 year old girl who needs to seek help asap.

i plan on going to my local hospital tomorrow as soon as the shaking starts. i have been heavily drinking everyday for nearly a year now because of some stuff that i couldn’t process or deal with properly, happening to me. the drinking kept getting worse and worse and for a while now the issue has become impossible to ignore based on the effects it’s had on my health and wellbeing. it only keeps getting worse and today it pushed me to new heights.

i want to know if there is a specific type of hospital i should seek out, if this will jeopardize my Adderall prescription, a prescription i need to function, one I’ve been on for years as it is the only thing that helps my SEVERE adhd and hypersomnia.

is it going to make doctors and nurses treat me poorly in the future if they see that i got treated for alcohol withdrawal on my charts? what should i bring with me? is this gonna cost a lot? do i tell my mom (whose health insurance im on) before i go? i’m assuming this is gonna cost even more than the time i went to the psych hospital at 16.

if i choose to seek help i know i could potentially be saving my own life but it’s also going to uproot my entire life.

please do not lecture me on how i did this to myself, im FULLY AWARE how much i screwed my life up. i am seeking out helpful advice only. thank you.
