BREATHITT RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER

Breathitt Residential Treatment Center is a public school that is part of the Breathitt County school district, located in Jackson, KY offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade.

The **Breathitt Residential Treatment Center** (also known as the Breathitt County Residential Center) is a state-operated facility located in Jackson, Kentucky, designed to serve male youth involved in the juvenile justice system. As a residential treatment program, the center provides a structured environment that focuses on rehabilitation, behavioral modification, and therapeutic support. The facility is typically managed by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and is intended to provide a safe, secure setting for young men who require more intensive intervention than community-based supervision can provide.

The primary goal of the center is to facilitate the successful reintegration of youth back into their communities and schools. To achieve this, the facility provides comprehensive programming, including educational services, life-skills training, and individual and group counseling. By addressing the underlying issues that led to a youth’s involvement with the justice system, the Breathitt Residential Treatment Center aims to reduce recidivism and help residents develop the cognitive and emotional tools necessary to lead productive, law-abiding lives after their discharge.
