Yes methadone will greatly reduce withdrawal symptoms. However methadone is an opiate. So going off of it will also cause withdrawal symptoms. The advantage of methadone is that it is long lasting, lacks the same initial rush of heroin. This makes addictions more manageable. It also reduces the risk of overdose.

How can I get over the physical withdrawals of heroin?
The only way to get rid of the physical withdrawal symptoms (besides taking more heroin) is to take methadone or Suboxone. These drugs are opiates themselves, just like heroin, but they won't get you high. They will feed your physical dependency on opiates, so you can quit getting high without suffering painful withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone (buprenorphine) is for mild to moderate opiate addiction, and methadone is for severe opiate addiction. If you are injecting, say, more than 10 grams of heroin a day, you may have to take methadone, as Suboxone may not be strong enough for you. If you are smoking or snorting the heroin, Suboxone will probably be sufficient. You will have to see a doctor to have one of these drugs prescribed to you. Not all doctors are permitted to prescribe Suboxone (or methadone), and only a handful of pharmacies are permitted to dispense it. I have included a link to a Buprenorphine Treatment Center Locator, which can help you find doctors in your area who are authorized to prescribe Suboxone. If it turns out you need methadone instead, I'm sure they can help you with that, too.
