No. Cocaine and methadone are two completely separate substances that have very different metabolic and neurochemical pathways, and do not interact directly. Cocaine is a stimulant that blocks the dopamine transporter and results in increase of dopamine (it also increases norepinephrine and serotonin to some extent as well). Methadone is a synthetic opiate that binds to opiate receptors (similar to morphine and heroin) and produces a painkilling euphoria. While cocaine stimulates, methadone depresses the central nervous system. So, they act in opposition to that effect. However, it is dangerous to mix cocaine with any opiate, since it tends to result in heart attacks.
