I'd say "completely." I think the others are slang terms, but I'm not really sure.

The words fully, totally, completely or wholly, utterly, entirely, thoroughly (and some others) are listed as synonyms in my thesaurus. I believe that any of them fits into your sentence. None of these words is a slang term.
