Actress Demi Moore was admitted to the Cirque Lodge addiction treatment center in Sundance, Utah.

E! News reports that Moore entered the facility the week following the Jan. 23 hospitalization, after she suffered seizure-like symptoms during a party at her home in the Benedict Canyon section of Beverly Hills, reportedly smoking some sort of unidentified substance.

The questions over what she was allegedly smoking have had experts in the field of addiction weighing in with educated opinions.

According to Us Magazine, Dr. David Sack, the CEO of Promises of Malibu and a leading addiction and recovery expert, shared his take.  "The issue with this is there is no control of the purity of the chemical that has been sprayed on the weed that they are going to smoke," noted Dr. David Sack.

Dr. Sack noted the effects of smoking some of these lesser known drugs. "We see a lot of emergency room visits related to 'spice' [the rumored drug Moore was smoking] because people start to feel unreal or they hallucinate or they are very sedated so they become frightened and they have panic attacks," Dr. Sack said in the US Magazine interview.

Moore is on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people, according to the E! report.  E! also reports that the 49-year-old actress is grappling with an eating disorder and her addiction issues.

Moore allegedly was taken to Utah for treatment quickly.

"It became clear to her that her way of coping with her stress was not working and she needed more help," the E! source continued.
