Tenants in the Military

I currently own a small portfolio of rental homes in the Vegas area. Ihave a situation in which tenants, that are younger and in the military and have really beat up my home badly with liquor bottles, to a ripped off door, to what I believe is drug paraphernalia etc etc  We recently took control of the property and will be contacting their commanding officer and if we have these drugs tested and they are what we think they are, then I believe we will have some real issues on our hand.  They are going to owe at least $15k -$25k is my guess because the broken lease, damages, etc  Is a lawsuit the only option?    Thank you in advance for any input
