Free Troubled Teen Help

Are there really any FREE programs that help troubled teens? There is a big difference between free information, free service and actually FREE. For example - "We offer a free service of giving you information on troubled teen programs and assist you free of charge in finding the perfect program to match your ..." This is not FREE.

Please be aware, please be careful, please be diligent and take your time when contacting anyone on the Internet that says FREE. Ask a lot of questions and do not be so panicked that you agree to anything, no matter what they say. Take a breath, step back, and get a second or even third opinion. The references below, as far as I was able to determine are truly FREE, if this is truly your need.
