Scared for my sister

Recently I've just discovered that my 20 year old baby sister has become a prostitute. I'm worried about her health. I think,but almost postive that she is using drugs as well. I've read most prostitutes use drugs to "ease the pain" of performing sexual acts. I'm lost and I don't know where to even begin to look for help for me and my sister. I need to find a reach out program or something similar that can give me facts and advice to approach my sister and help her turn her life around before it's too late.

Thank you.
