sorry to intrude but no, its not just on extreme cases.
my father did it and he had decent money and he was well bodied and completely able to work and earn money, yet he chose to steal my mother's money, my money (his own daughter....) and my brother's money (no, my brother is not his child). he stole from our house (for example, our Foosball table) to sell things for cash to buy drugs.
it's not extreme. it can happen to any addict.
by the way, i put no, i saw what it did to my father and i would NEVER do that to myself. not sure what drugs he did/does for sure, but i know its marijuana for sure, abused alcohol and tobacco and i believe he did some cocaine as well. not 100% sure ;s
