I can't imagine any chemical dependency rehabilitation willing to even accept you. You have not met any criteria for substance abuse (aka "harmful use") or substance dependence (aka "dependence syndrome" or addiction).
Your mother is overreacting to the fact you tried Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)- also Vyvanse is NOT the same as Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) although they are extremely similar- but you have to try to understand that it can be very scary for a parent to hear their child took an amphetamine. Vyvanse breaks down into dextroamphetamine, which produces the drugs effects and dextroamphetamine is "speed." Not to mention that you and your friend both broke the law.
Try to sit down with your mum when she is in a good mood and explain to her, in this order, in short, exact sentences 1) the facts of why you took the medication 2) What your feelings/emotions are about taking the medication and her reaction 3) Tell her what exactly you would like to happen. Also make sure to apologize to her. You need to make the point that you took the medication, more/less, out of desperation due to your grades. You might want to write down the points you want to make to her and if you need to you might read from the paper you wrote.
You might also try to see if she will take you to a psychiatrist because you can be evaluated for ADHD and you and your mother can talk about this issue and the doctor will be able to provide a professional, objective view.

Congratulations. Out of all the possible mistakes teenagers can make, you made yours (a) for the right reason, (b) with decent results, and (c) with material not likely to cause any negative long term consequences. That said, it *was* illegal.
Ironically, your mom's going to create MORE trouble for you and your post-school life if she contacts the school about this. It's something that, once started, isn't going to stop until it's on your permanent record. The administrators will have no choice but to investigate and eventually contact the authorities. A paper trail is the last thing you need, what with college application committees and job recruiters on your horizon.
I take adderall on prescription, but you have to understand its a popularly abused drug. Rehab is obviously taking it too far, but you should've approached your mom and doc before trying it yourself. You were wrong, but hey people f up and I'm sorry its having such an impact on you relationship with your mom. As for dealing with the situation yourself, I don't know you or your mom so that one's your responsibility.
You need to go to rehab NEVER take medicine from anyone but parents.
