About

About Bliss Poston the Second Wind

The Second Wind is an established outpatient addiction and behavioral health practice in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, occupying Suite 403 at 928 Broadway, just south of Madison Square Park. Founded in 1988 by John Bliss, LCSW, CASAC, the practice has spent more than three and a half decades serving adults in New York City who are navigating substance use disorder alongside common co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma.

The Second Wind operates as a certified provider of the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), which means it meets state standards for substance use treatment programs. The practice describes itself as an evidence-based outpatient program that has retained the warm, personal environment of a small private practice while expanding into a full-spectrum behavioral health team.

The service mix is unusually broad for a small practice: individual counseling with licensed clinicians, group programs that foster connection and accountability, anger and stress management programs, peer support services delivered by Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPA), family counseling, telehealth, and medication management and psychiatric care. Cognitive behavioral therapy anchors the clinical work, with treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs and adjusted across the recovery arc.

The practice accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. Specific commercial carrier participation is not publicly listed on the captured website pages; intake staff can verify coverage during scheduling. Telehealth is offered for clients who prefer remote sessions or have schedules that don’t accommodate in-person visits to the Broadway office.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Bliss Poston the Second Wind provides medically supervised detox programs for individuals requiring safe withdrawal management from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances. The facility's medical detox services include 24/7 supervision during acute withdrawal phases, with medication management and psychiatric care integrated throughout the detox process.

The center's withdrawal protocols address both physical dependence and psychological symptoms during detox. Patients receive FDA-approved medications when medically appropriate, ensuring safe transition through alcohol detox, opioid detox, and benzo detox phases under continuous medical oversight.

Outpatient Treatment and Continuing Care

Following medical detox, patients transition to structured outpatient programs that maintain therapeutic momentum while allowing return to daily responsibilities. The outpatient treatment combines cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, and group programs designed for individuals completing withdrawal management.

Telehealth services expand access to ongoing treatment for patients throughout Manhattan and New York City. The program includes peer support services from certified recovery peer advocates, providing additional support for individuals transitioning from detox to long-term recovery maintenance.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders

The facility specializes in treating individuals with substance use disorders alongside mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress-related disorders. This dual diagnosis approach ensures that underlying psychiatric conditions receive treatment concurrent with substance abuse issues during and after medical detox.

Integrated treatment addresses how mental health symptoms can complicate withdrawal management and early recovery. The program combines addiction treatment with mental health services, providing comprehensive care for individuals whose substance use developed alongside or because of psychiatric conditions.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

Bliss Poston the Second Wind accepts major insurance carriers including Medicaid, Medicare, Aetna, Anthem, Ambetter, and Allied Trades for medical detox and outpatient treatment services.
