Crystal meth: It's a good sign that you want to quit. I suggest that you contact a methamphitamine detox/rehab center.

For physicians you can contact American Society for Addiction Medicine and use their "Find a Physician" search engine: http://www.asam.org/ There are multiple drug treatment centers around Beaumont TX: http://local.soberrecovery.com/Drug_Detox_Beaumont_TX-r1299042-Beaumont_TX.html

Need inpatient rehab: I would not suggest the use of Suboxone for meth addiction. It is really not for that. The use of something as addictive and dangerous as meth requires intensive and highly specialized treatment which is best given in an inpatient setting.
