I have no advice--it's ugly. When my sister lifted a credit card of ours for drug money, she racked up $2,000+ before we found out about it. I really didn't have much choice except to file a police report over it. I'd rather have not, but I didn't have much choice. If I hadn't, I would have had to cover the charges, and it just wasn't possible even if I had felt like it. I might have chosen to eat $350, but not that much.
The real fix is to get rid of the drug problem. No easy answers there either I'm afraid--my sister was in & out of rehab and jail several times before she got straightened out. Of course at some point the family has to realize that they're not helping by being "nice", but we were well past that point before it did any good.
