There are many symptoms and tell tale signs depending on how they are ingesting it.

If inhaled you would notice runny nose, congestion, lack of interest in eating or sleeping. Smoking would be more detectable, notice possession of alot of lighters, desire to be alone or without others who would monitor their behavior, the wheels of the bic lighters not disposed of, and wire hangers no longer curved at top but now straght to use as pusher in crack pipe.

Both ways of taking cocaine will at some points result in erratic and out of character behavior and paranoia.

Cut straws, residue on credit cards or keys is also a noticeable FLAG of snorting cocaine

Depending on whether or not they have actually developed a dependency determines how long they can go without it, those who have a physical dependence tend to want it EVERY day and will behave erratically and panic when they can't afford to buy it or locate accessibility to it, if they are just an occasional user, or abuser, then there is no way to detect their frequency of use other than to CONSTANTLY observe and monitor their activity to see if they try to slip away with feeble excuses of why they have to be SOMEWHERE that sounds fishy , they tend to only socialize with OTHERS who also use, anyone else is a block to their ability to enjoy it fully
If you feel like you are being avoided and they are evasive that would be the beginning tell tale signs but if they were DEPENDENT it is alot more evident to see and they usually don't even bother trying to hide it at that point, they are more concerned with getting and doing it then anything else.

Is the person you are speaking of excitable? Do they seem like they are on top of the world? Have a lot of energy? Kind of Jittery? Have they been sleeping, and if not for how long? They may have a red nose, sound like they have an upper head cold. They may get nose bleeds easily. Do you see them disappearing into a bathroom after a meal, or possibly drinking a bit more than usual? Coccaine tends to make a person dehydrated, and beer or wine is usually used as a chaser.
