Methods: Participants were 2755 substance using children and adolescents who were treated at the Bakirkoy Mental Health and Neurologic Disorders Hospital between 2011 and 2014.

A significant increase found in polysubstance use and in the number of females seeking treatment for substance use from 2011 to 2014. Alcohol, ecstasy, synthetics cannabinoids and heroin usage showed increase whereas inhalants, cannabis, prescribed medicines usage showed decrease in 2014. In 2014 while girls mostly consumed ecstasy, prescribed medicines and cocaine boys mostly used cannabis and synthetics.
