Systems and methods addressing multiple aspects to provide a comprehensive recovery program for addictions, chronic conditions and diseases

Abstract

A comprehensive addiction treatment method with a medication delivery system of subcutaneous implant micro-pellets in a horizontal orientation parallel to Langer lines in the horizontal plane surrounding the upper hips and lower back in patients, which may include a method of identification at an advanced video communication system through facial recognition, voice recognition and/or a recognition of an RFID microchip implanted in a patient. The identification will be transmitted over the Internet to a database at a secure server to initiate a computer program to stream video content, computer generated communication and/or a live video to be transmitted to an audio-visual system that may be capable of displaying a life-size video image of a live caregiver or a computer generated avatar of a caregiver within a three dimensional setting for real time two-way communication with apparent eye contact.

1 . A medical treatment delivery system of subcutaneous implant of micro-pellets having medicine for release over time. 
     
     
         2 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the micro-pellets are smaller than 11 mm in length. 
     
     
         3 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the micro-pellets are implanted in a horizontal orientation parallel to Langer lines in the horizontal plane surrounding the upper hips and lower back. 
     
     
         4 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the medicine is a class of drugs known as opiate antagonists. 
     
     
         5 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the medicine is Naltrexone. 
     
     
         6 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the medicine is Naltrexone combined with stearic acid. 
     
     
         7 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the micro-pellets release the medicine over a period of approximately three months. 
     
     
         8 . The medical treatment delivery system of  claim 1 , wherein the subcutaneous implant of micro-pellets includes the implant of an RFID microchip. 
     
     
         9 . A medical treatment method, which includes:
 subcutaneous implanting into a patient micro-pellets having medication therein which releases over time; and   employing an identification device into the patient wherein identification is enabled over the Internet to a secure database associated with medical record and treatment plan data for the identification device of the patient.   
     
     
         10 . A medical treatment method of  claim 9 , wherein the method of identification is an RFID microchip, and an interrogator for reading the RFID microchip and which is positioned at an access point to a video conference system that has an internet connection to the database with the patient's medical records and treatment plan data. 
     
     
         11 . A medical treatment method of  claim 10 , wherein the interrogator is positioned in a back of a chair in which the patient sits. 
     
     
         12 . A medical treatment method of  claim 9 , wherein the video conference system incorporates a two-way mirror between the patient and an image display device positioned for providing the patient with a direct view looking forward at eye level through the two-way mirror at a displayed image on the image display while the two way mirror is angled at approximately 45 degree to reflect an illuminated panel that is positioned further from the two-way mirror than the image display device. 
     
     
         13 . A medical treatment method of  claim 12 , wherein a caregiver at a distant location from the patient is captured by a camera with a display system that achieves a line of sight directly toward the camera and the video image and audio is transmitted over an Internet connection to the location of the patient for appearing on the image display with a perceived eye contact. 
     
     
         14 . A medical treatment method of  claim 12 , wherein stored digital files of a recorded video of a caregiver or a live computer generated image of an avatar is transmitted to appear on the image display device for viewing by the patient. 
     
     
         15 . A medical treatment method of  claim 12 , wherein a camera is positioned to view the patient as a reflection off the two-way mirror along a line at eye level of the displayed image of a transmitted person appearing on the image display device. 
     
     
         16 . A medical treatment method of  claim 15 , wherein the camera captures a digital image, video file or facial recognition documentation of the patient to be stored in medical records of the patient for identification for approval for usage of the video conference system for the duration of a treatment plan. 
     
     
         17 . A medical treatment method of  claim 15 , wherein the camera captures a live video image of the patient that is analyzed by a facial recognition application that identifies facial expressions to determine the mental state of the patient. 
     
     
         18 . A medical treatment method of  claim 12 , wherein a microphone captures an audio recording of the patient to be stored in medical records of the patient for identification for approval for usage of the video conference system for the duration of a treatment plan.
