Not into an Ada *package*, but built into the language itself.
If S is the string and I is an Integer variable, you can write
I := Integer'Value(S);
The 'Value is called an attribute. The 'Image attribute goes the
other way, so you could also write
S := Integer'Image(I);
'Image and 'Value work with many types, not just Integer, but
they always convert to and from strings. For more information,
you can download the Ada Tutor program from the Web or FTP
sites below my signature. I hope this helps.
