About Amanda

Amanda Gagnon, RN | Lead Nurse

Amanda Gagnon serves as Lead Nurse at Valiant Detox, where she combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion to care for individuals during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. She believes addiction impacts far more than physical health, affecting mental well-being, relationships, confidence, and hope. That perspective shapes the way she cares for every client who walks through the door.

Amanda is passionate about supporting clients at the very beginning of their recovery journey, when safety, dignity, and encouragement matter most. She understands that many individuals arrive feeling physically uncomfortable, emotionally overwhelmed, or burdened by shame, and she is committed to creating an environment where they are met with respect rather than judgment. Helping clients stabilize medically while offering hope and encouragement as they take their first steps toward healing is one of the most rewarding parts of her work.

As Lead Nurse, Amanda is dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence, compassion, and teamwork, ensuring every client receives exceptional care from the moment they arrive.
