The drug Naltrexone now helps fight kleptomania. Kleptomania is distinguished from shoplifting and thievery as those two are generally related to monetary value and especially premeditation and planning (not that I am teaching you how to steal.) Anyway Kleptomania involves less thinking and more compulsion so it could be similar to OCD (obsessive-compulsive Disorder) and usually not contemplating what the value of what is stolen.
Well if you are going to treat the kleptomania, I would recommend filling in the void that the lack of stealing would create in the person's chemical boost/addiction.
