development of a single universal treatment unlikely. The findings
from the current review also do not suggest that there is a single
approach that is consistently effective for all individuals. In terms of
the relative benefits of inpatient/residential approaches compared to
a purely outpatient approach, again the findings are mixed. This is
likely to support a greater move to outpatient programs, ideally of
longer duration, as a primary treatment for most jurisdictions for
economic reasons.
