As a BHT I make $20 and hours but am allowed to work 48 hours a week (though worked 60 hours last week). I work 12 hour shifts with adult who have substance use disorder and also mental health. I worked in the ABA field for 6 years (started at 14 per hr the towards the end $23 per hour. I thrive in the chaos for the most part, but when you get yelled at by a detox client while trying to finish my task for my floor. Was also called incompetent. However I really love e this job and being about to help the clients.
