I just got out of detox a couple weeks ago for heroin addiction. They gave me methocarbamol when I was in crisis stabilization (before you are admitted to the medical detox), and it seemed to help with some of the discomfort from the withdrawals. Don't get me wrong, it didn't completely alleviate my symptoms, but definitely made a slight impact to make it more tolerable.

After I was discharged, my doctor put me on 1500mg a day to help with the post-acute withdrawals. It definitely helps with the minor aches and pains. But I also experienced an extreme lack of energy, and the methocarbamol definitely added to that listlessness. I've since been supplementing with a B-complex vitamin to help with my energy levels.

So the short answer to your question is: yes, methocarbamol is used for opiate withdrawal.
