Then what of the wardens who are also affected and so often traumatized by floods and ports? The Doctor is a good man, yet he nearly left the Barge entirely after the zombie port. My own warden was also left incredibly taxed.
Furthermore, no reliable rehabilitation center that I've ever heard of runs things like this. On the contrary, they rely on routine, which is dangerous, to a degree. It doesn't push people toward any higher ambitions than are allowed for in the arts and crafts room. However, plenty of people do recover, regardless.
Sometimes it is through trauma or tragedy that bonds are formed, but often even stronger bonds can be formed through just talking and spending time together. Bonds formed during times of stress often don't last, at least based on what I've seen.
And as for maturing? The floods can help us learn about ourselves and others. I don't think that can always be applied to everyone during every flood, however. Some people retreat and withdraw emotionally, and by the time they recover, they're hit with another flood or port, and the process can start all over again.
If that's the case, it sounds like the Admiral is playing favorites, which paints him as a bit more sinister figure.
