I've read a lot of Peele's writings, but I don't really know that he has a specific 'approach' in them. Most of what I've read seems more geared to social policy than to an individual plan for recovery. His harm reduction concept, for example, gets a lot of criticism from abstinence-only advocates, but I don't think he's advocating that people adopt moderation as a practice--just that it be recognized that reducing the harm of heavy drinking behavior is a laudable accomplishment even if abstinence is not achieved. And he has spent a lot of time shattering common myths about substance abuse.
It's been a long time since I read that particular book. So if there are specific suggestions he has I'd be interested in talking about them. Generally he favors cognitive approaches, which is certainly my preference.
