Found out our tenant was an addict AFTER we evicted her... what are our rights now?

We are cleaning out our rental property after finally evicting our tenant (for non-payment of rent) and she left many things behind; including prescription bottles with her name on them for Methadone. We had a property management company find this tenant for us (they have since been fired). Isn't it their responsibility to screen for these sort of things? If we had known she was a drug addict, we never would have allowed her to rent the property and could have been saved thousands of dollars. We are out several months rent that she didn't pay, and several thousands of dollars in damages to our home from the vandalism she committed.
Do we have any rights to sue the property management company for not better screening this tenant?
