This is huge that I admitted my problem to my mom and that I’m going to finally talk to my doctor. I’m just going to be straight up blunt with him and say “I am addicted to my Xanax and I’m out of control with it.”
Can he hospitalize me for that or send me to rehab?

I doubt they can send you anywhere.
I do think you need to have a very honest conversation with your pdoc about your meds. You are often taking an extreme dose of melatonin (see Melatonin Overdose: How Much Melatonin Should I Take? ) and that can make you feel sick and anxious. You also use melatonin for anxiety and it's not supposed to be used that way. At this point your body may be pretty messed up by that and it may be contributing to the Xanax use being too high. It also sounds like you wake up in the night to take Geodon and that seems like an unusual way to use it.
I"m no doctor but I just think all these things may interact and leave you anxious and feeling physically bad. If you like the naturalness of melatonin ask about valerian root or kava kava (I am not sure they still sell that one). I think valerian root even comes in a tea.
Good luck tomorrow
