We have tried having groups, even offering them for free , and have not had a a lot of success with this population in an outpatient setting when clients are not required to go .
My first suggestion is to call SAMHSA’s National Helpline @ 1.xxx.xxx.xxxx they can refer you to a local person in your area. If not we can look at a Plan B. Let me know.

HI Elizabeth. There are many groups that are voluntary. AA and NA come to mind, but often, counselors in private practice will also hold voluntary groups.
I treat individual who are not court ordered individually. I follow the same guidelines in terms of information . transmitted. At issue is usually chronic alcoholics versus people who aren’t that bad yet. Have to approach them differently. I use that same models to treat gambling, sexual and carbohydrate addicts
Coastal Turning Point in Santa Cruz serves clients with private insurance and the clients are usually self-referred or referred by therapists or doctors.
You may want to look for a Celebrate Recovery Group in your local area. The groups I have found are very helpful to those who struggle with any addiction.
Sometimes therapists assist with anonymous and similar groups... if a therapist in your area has experience running addiction groups with non mandated clients perhaps you could suggest it to them?
Some anonymous groups discourage using therapists but there are and have been such groups, yes
