Senella mansion.

The lavish lifestyle of one of California’s highest-paid nonprofit CEOs has been exposed as whistleblowers claim staff were pressured to funnel vulnerable addicts into taxpayer-funded rehabs to boost his own profits.
Albert Senella, president and CEO of Tarzana Treatment Centers, pulls in a whopping $2.36 million a year running the city-supported addiction treatment nonprofit, tax records viewed by the California Post reveal.
The organization offers medical detox, residential treatment, mental healthcare and recovery programs, with the work subsidized by California and Los Angeles taxpayers.
The Post spotted Senella last week at his sprawling six-bedroom, eight-bathroom Simi Valley home, which is worth about $3.7 million.

Senella’s world is far from the bare-bones conditions former workers describe inside his addiction recovery nonprofit, with plastic mattresses, shared showers and other basic amenities.
When the California Post visited his Tarzana treatment center, there were prospective patients slumped outside, many with their belongings stuffed into garbage bags. Meanwhile, the nonprofit’s annual revenue has nearly tripled, from $76.6 million in 2019 to $224.1 million last year, public tax records show.
Senella’s compensation has climbed with the profits: from $1.09 million in 2020 to $1.84 million in 2024 — before his salary increased by a whopping 28% last year to $2.36 million.
Tarzana’s next-highest-paid executive collected roughly $900,000, while several other top employees received more than $300,000 each, according to tax records.
Taxpayers from the City of Los Angeles poured $10.8 million into the treatment center nonprofit since 2021, figures from the City Administrative Officer using controller records show. In 2025, the city paid the company $2.17 million and another $1.8 million so far in 2026.

Sound like my dentist.
Treatment. It's expensive.
Nice digs. Non-profit to “shareholders”. Lots of profit for the executives...
Senella mansion.
Seconds before me. Good job!
Or all the corporate Vets offices.
All they care about is increasing the bill.
Talk you into procedures for things your dog does not need.
Especially, now that many Boomers have pets instead of children. Anything for their Fur Babies.
the reality of “public health.”
One of the biggest industries today is drug and alcohol rehabs. I don’t know why this guy needed to make his a non-profit because he could have made a fortune with a for-profit rehab. And he could have taken Medicaid and other government money in the for-profit rehab. Its all a sick, co-dependent relationship between the government and these industries. Eisenhower warned against military-industrial complex. The government social spending-industrial complex dwarfs that by miles.
The feral yoots could have free college if we seriously combated thieves.
Sure beats working for a living!
